I have a sick child on my hands here. I thought for Valentines Day I would dig out these old trays that my Gram had sent the girls a long, long time ago. They're snack trays - but don't have a nice design on them. Thought we'd decoupage them.
Anyhooo - Underneath there was a CraftStor tote I had long forgotten about. Inside the top bin is filled with treasures. Embroidery needles, beads, beading needles, hand dyed threads - a whole plethora of goodies! I was so excited.
In the bottom of the tote it's all empty - 4 resealable containers for more goodies. I now have a place to keep all my embroidery things instead of a mishmash in my basket. (I can never find anything in there) The tote looks like this: http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat3267&PRODID=prd5943 Long forgotten about on top of that closet shelf.
You never know what treasures are lurking in your own home!
I too, have been finding old sewing and crafting bits and pieces; through cleaning out closets and the like. It raises excitement and makes me want to use everything and make everything!
Treasures!
