I like picking up stuff on the streets - elastic bands after the postie delivers mail (keep some, put most in a little bag to give to my favourite recycling place) earrings etc, little hair bows etc lost by small kiddies (decorate felt toys, felt hair clips & brooches) & other useful stuff that takes my eye.

Recent find was a very wet felt heart decoration which I dried & am copying - barely declutting my box of felt, & slightly subtracting from the large collection## of broken jewellery & little thingies that will be useful one day. Hopefully I will have used lots of them before I pop off the twig & my sister takes the remainder to Reverse Garbage along with lots of other new & second-hand useful stuff.

## the large collection is sitting in a large stainless steel mixing bowl which hadn't been used for years & didn't quite get to the bag of stuff heading to charity shops
