Gems, Sand, and, yo yo?

Remember the boxes of jewelry I got last month?
Two boxes, full of goodies for $5 each.
Well I've been sorting.
I got about 12 baggies of 'stuff'. =)

Here is just one baggy of goodies laid out.
So fun.
I got baggies full of earrings, chains, necklaces, pins...
Some great, some broken pieces, some just junk.
So fun going through them.

Here is a fun little idea.
I have a little jar like this at the shop.
It has cuff links and tie tacks in it.
People love digging through it,
and for 50 cents each, taking home a treasure.
One gal got 4 new tie tacks for her husband.

So, I thought, my grand kids would love
having a jar like that. Now when I garage sale,
I pick up little pieces of jewelry and throw it in the jar.
It's a treat whenever they come over.
hmmm. idea! There were bunches of nice earrings
with no mate in those boxes too.
Think I'll start an earring jar. =)

Then I saw this idea!!
I'm not making watches, but thought
what great things to choose from for charm bracelets!
Will I get any done?? Don't know, but sure fun to gather for it.

display idea:

Sold this cute kids wheelbarrow.....

so improvised and put this little coastal bowl together.
(you could do the same thing with an old box,
enamel pan, or whatever you have.
Just dump in sand, shells, a bottle, even some pearls!)

My Blue Monday " Nature"? find while out walking. =)
