One thing that I have always had a weakness for and still do is little itty bit cute stuff. Tiny little things. When I lived in my apartment, I had old 24 hole Coke Crates on my walls full of miniatures. I had every itty bitty little cute thing that you could imagine. When we moved into our house, I never put them out because they take up a lot of room. But, one day I saw them in a shoe box and realized that they really don't take up that much room if you display them in a different way.
So, I tossed them all in a couple of old blue Ball jars and sat them on a shelf. From time to time, I pick them up and have a little I SPY game.
I spy two balls of yarn, some SOS Pads, a pig, a scooter, some ABC blocks and a tiny graniteware cup.
I spy two bowling pins, Gerald Ford, a caboose, a cup and a praying angel.
I SPY the letter "I", the number "5", a wee birdie,a Christmas tree and a HEART.
Every once is a awhile, like today, I dump them all out and put them all back in again. Then I have a whole new I SPY Game to play. I honestly think I like them in these jars more than I did displayed on shelves where they got dusty. These jars are maxed out. So, if I find any more itty bitty cute little things, I will have to start a new jar. Oh, wouldn't that just be awful? :D
That is a wonderful way to enjoy your itty bitty little stuff. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI SPY lots of fun. I agree. Wee things are somewhat irresistable. The jars are great because then you don't have to dust each piece!Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteCute! Don't invite me over. I'll steal those. I'm building my doll house. Well eventually. You know.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you displayed those itty bitties! I've had fun just looking at the jars and trying to see how much I could recognize. It's a little like a canning jar archeological dig!
ReplyDeleteI think you should go shopping now for an old blue jar...you know...so you will be prepared when you find something. Cause you know you will!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Totally adorable! Love the jars and the tinies! Awesome.
