Found objects. I’m always collecting, stopping in the middle of the sidewalk to stuff my pockets with items people have left behind. I try to go through what I’ve found and arrange the items at least once a month. Here’s what I found in September:
Here’s what I found in August:
One day in August I found all of these feathers. It felt like I’d won the lottery when I found the blue one:
People always ask what I do with all of this stuff. I have a big treasure box that put it all in after I’ve taken a photo. I was looking through the box today…its become quite a collection of odds and ends. McGyver would appreciate the utility of it all. Scout and Jem too. I’ll find a better way to display all my junk one day, maybe a large curiosity cabinet.
Here’s what I’ve found and written about in the past.
My Dad was a biologist, so we walked a lot in cool places–forests of gloom,beach getaways,roads to nowhere. He taught me to watch where I was walking,so if I found some thing that he could use in class he would explain it too me ( you know ,like what kind of egg shell, which bird’s feather…)but I remember we always found cool non useful stuff,too. I loved beachcomber days,I still love picking for beach glass! I found some neat jewelry parts,too. I have taught my kids to pay attention,my hubby and I take treasure walks also. I miss my Dad horribly,but hubby tells me each time I find something super cool that Dad placed it there for me to find. Keep searching I know I will!!
