I picked up a package of biodegradable peat pots at a yard sale.
As they sat on the dresser I starting throwing in little bits and bobs
that I have picked up and acquired while staying here in Florida.
The old metal 52 stencils were given to me by
Remember the pictures of her home when I visited there?
It is sooo pretty!
She is set up at Marburger right now...oh I wish I was there!
Can't wait to see her photos of that spectacular event!
Why do I do this?
That's what Dad and Mr. Flea want to know.
another pair of angel wings...
Tiny tin boxes.
Now, what will I put in them?
The sunshine has disappeared and we are having
rain storms, wind and even tornado warnings!
Sounds like an inside crafty kind of day.
The good news is
that the weekend is supposed to be beautiful again.
Hooray!
More yard sales and thrifting.
And don't forget about 52 FLEA's

Now with the lousy weather you hae lots of fodder for crafting! Wonderful selection of real gems. Have fun!
Love your small finds!
What a great idea! Now I know what how I can repurpose my flats from the garden center! Also, stopped by Sweet Pea yesterday at Marburger! Fabulous stuff and such a fun day!
This is so pretty! I love the way this organizer looks!

I just love all the little trinkets you have in your post. I just came by for the first time. So glad I found you. Have a nice day crafting, raining here too. Kim :)
That is a neat idea for an organizer and the pics are great. I would have got those little boxes too...so cute!
Much tidier than the piles of stuff on my dresser!
You do 'sorts' like your photo's because you can (and they are very intriguing. I never thought of shaped shells as angel wings. Nice thought to carry through the day.

You do that because that is the artist in you. I love this and love looking at all the little collections. That would be very neat photographed and framed. ~~Sherry~~
Laura, one of my favorite movies growing up and still now, is "To Kill A Mockingbird". Your little collection reminds me of this movie. Such pretty sentimental treasures. The tin boxes are darling. I think inside a pretty message like that from fortune cookies, or a special button. Make your own special message so anyone opening them read it. Wonderful post, tami
What a great use for the trays. I see lots of treasures in your stash. :)
It has been cold and wet here, but sun is trying to come out now.
Enjoy your day.
I think it is a joyful and natural thing to collect little pretties and interesting objects. All children do it. It seems that we tell ourselves we must stop it as we grow older...but some of us decide that we don't want to! The tendency never goes away...we've all got that junk drawer, that little box of trinkets from childhood, that box of odds and ends in the garage...
When I am asked why I do something I usually say because I can and I want to. :>)
Love all the bits and bobs and the angel wings are wonderful!!
Annette
Why do you do this? Because you want to. Because you have to. Because creating beauty and order is innate in you. Because we love looking at your world!
I am loving all your little collectibles displayed this way. Too bad if the Mr.'s don't get it cause WE DO. ;)
Danielle
I think it's your inspiration board of sorts.
Oh Laura, I totally get you! Those who do, surely don't ever ask why you do all those wonderful things you do :) Love it!
awww I fell in love with all those bits and bobs, Laura, what treasures you have there!
What an awesome idea! This is perfect to hold pairs of earrings and those spare buttons that come with new outfits...and the occasional barbie shoe i always find when vacuuming! haha!
Take Care,
Amanda

I have some peat pots in the shed, great place to store small things! judy
What a beautiful collection! Love the angel wings but what caught my eye was the miniature Windsong perfume bottle....my mama bought me that perfume every year since I was 17. She's gone now but I still have the last 1/2 bottle but it isn't as cute as that one. Your photos are such an inspiration....thank you! Lorelei
Wow this is so cute. What wonderful little treasures.
I love your little treasures. Looks like a piece of art to me!
Why do you do that? Because you can. And it certainly does make for fun photos. I am catching up on your blog and must express how sad I am to hear about the loss of your mother. My very best wishes to you and your family as you all cherish the sweet memories you shared with her. Your previous post at the beach was beautiful and very touching. ~ Angela
I love this idea. It not only looks GREAT, but when you are creating that certain something, you can see it all ;-)

The peat pots look like little assemblages, like mini works of art! Awesome!
