Wow....I kept thinking I needed to post here but couldn't seem to get to it. I'm sure I don't have everything but I've got the good stuff here. This is a wooden teapot shaped box. I collect tea-for-one's and tea accessories.

I think this will hold teabags or infusers or sweetener or teabag caddies or whatever I want! I can always paint it too. It was cheap. Either 50¢ or $1.

I love this wine caddy...only $1.99 at Goodwill. If you'll remember my last entry, that one holds 2 bottles and this one holds 5....way more than I normally have anyway.

Just another view. I need to clean my countertop off but this will be perfect for that spot.

This is a vase I got for maybe a quarter. Just big enough for only one or two blossoms. I love it though.

When I got this box, the cashier said, oh, this must be part of that bigger set where the lady was looking for a missing one. Must be...but it's mine now. Only 50¢ again. I currently have some crocheted thimble holders in it that I used for demo in a class.

I think I got this retractable tape measure for 10¢. It had a glued on applique which I took off. The plan is to personalize the empty spot now and put it with my needlework tools. I often need to measure a motif for one reason or another.

I couldn't pass up this pink glitter purse for 50¢ at Walmart. I have a plan for it as a gift. I have a friend who loves pink and this just screamed out her name! I'll probably take the silver chain things off. I can't figure out what those dangles are on it anyway.

I've had a project in mind for one of my lace groups, a challenge. I've seen this done in another medium - crazy quilting, I think, and got the idea from that. I want them to find a 2nd hand bargain pic like this and embellish it with their lace. This might be too big...haven't decided yet.

I have no idea what this is but it looked like it would hold suncatchers and crystals....or pierced earrings, very nicely.

It was 99¢ at Goodwill.

Now, I'll have to spend at least as much time finding stuff to get rid of this weekend.
