FoR challenge week 2 - Trinkets, treasures or trash .
Today I found some trash -- I can assure you that there is plenty around as I tend to be a hoarder ! This is a delightful little egg coddler , it belonged to my Grandmother . I do not use it ,but I have it as an ornament , but like in so many of my ornaments , especially if they have a lid , I tend to stack away objects that may come in handy !! Here you will find a piece of ribbon salvaged from the wrappings of a Christmas Gift !!! ( will I ever find use for it !!) a couple of keys - forgotten what they are intended for ! , a couple of curtain hooks - useful but would I remember where to find them if I needed them ! A tiny safety pin , a screw and a glass marble (!No comments on lost marbles ,please ! Ha ! I think one of these days I shall go round my ornaments and get rid of all the unnecessary contents !
A bright but shivery cold morning !
Nice capture of your trash. There is one drawer in my kitchen that is full of trash and trinkets; my granddaughters loved 'granny's drawer' when they were little.
Yes but at the time they are all treasures Beryl. I so agree that anything with a lid is the perfect place to save things! Treasure trash....we all need it. We used a piece of ribbon I found in a drawer to tie the bird peanut feeder to a branch on the tree...a striped ribbon holder!
Ha ha I keep things in trinkets too and wonder why on earth I kept them in the first place, Doesn't it annoy you when you find an old key hidden in something and you can't remember what the key is for.
I've got 6 of these egg coddlers having bought various over the years. They are so good at meals - you put mushroom, cheese and/or onion in them, a dob of cream if you have it then break the egg into the centre. Screw the lid on and place in a pot of simmering water on a trivet for about 13.-15 mins. I can actually fit two eggs in. Bacon, tomato, peas also - just not too much.
@wendyfrost@onewing@carole_sandford -- Girls , just imagine what it would be like if we didn't have such ornaments and containers ! If we were minimalists we would not be hoarding such trash !!
Ooh , thank you ladies -- I am so glad and happy that I am not the only magpie who hoards things , whether treasures or trash in containers and ornaments around the house .
