So anyway, in my search for the felt, I found some things I'd forgotten about that made me go...oh! I'd forgotten all about you! Things I've had for a few years and which made me smile.
1) A pen holder, bought in Thailand, which is now on my desk.
2) A fairy / witch I made out of fimo and glitter
3) A roll of black and white film (50 ISO) which expired over 4 years ago. I'm going to dust off my manual camera and use it anyway and see what comes out.
4) Some very small hardbacked notebooks which have actually been filled ~ these came from a wonderful shop called Neal Street East which is no longer there...they had a basement full of colourful cheap nick nacks from around the world where I could easily lose myself for hours!
5) A box of words...I remember cutting these words up for a writing group exercise at least 3 years ago now!!
6) A felt covered blank book from Paperchase which I never used. I'm determined to find a use for it now.
7) Some silk cast offs from a haberdashery in St Ives...such a gorgeous colour. Must find a use for this too!
So there you go...what small treasures have you forgotten about? Tell me about them!

oh gosh, neal street east! what a great place that was! i remember often popping there when work took me round the covent garden bit of london. then, a few years ago when i was back there with mr m. i popped by, but it was no more... how sad! did it move? or just vanish? i shall ponder the small treasure that i forgot about! i will probably find lots of them in august when i visit home in the uk, in my room in the attic at my mum's house!!!
I love your fairy/witch! What a great face! The expression is brilliant.
A couple of years ago I had a bit of an obsession with dough craft. I think I might dig some of my creations out. Maybe it will inspire me to do some more. Thanks!
it was fun reading your post & traveling back through your memories with you...little objects hold entire scenes...thanks!
Your collection of found treasures is wonderful. I particularly like the way each item is presented and photographed... simultaneously fun and elegant!
Excellent post! I love your little witch!
What an inspiration! I have so many boxes stored in my foyer (an old Victorian house, all the first floor, is where I live), and I think making a list of the *buried treasure* is an excellent idea. I am torn between feeling stupid that I have so much *stuff* and wanting to enjoy the *stuff* because I loved it enough in the first place to have saved it. I'm closer to the latter than I used to be, and now even closer because of your inspiration! Thanks! I'll certainly post my results on my own blog!
