They were used as household supplies for dollhouse dolls and small barbie dolls, and I haven't been able to get rid of them because I still remember what treasure they were!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16803069104800007097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-22503966167288451642012-07-11T18:06:44.174-07:002012-07-11T18:06:44.174-07:00I think it's great that you were able to "...I think it's great that you were able to "up cycle" this "junk!"

My daughter is definitely one of those kids who collects what I impolitely refer to as "crap". <br /><br />When she was very young, I briefly had a fear that she might become a hoarder because she had piles of this stuff on her bed in bags and boxes. To the undiscerning eye it looked like junk, but she actually played with almost every trinket and scrap.<br /><br />She's still a collector, but she's also a most inventive and imaginative artist and story teller...thanks, in part, to her ever-expanding collection of this stuff. <br /><br />I now call her my little magpie, always on the lookout for something shiny to decorate her nest with. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06567374692535009450noreply@blogger.com
