Midweek Blues, Bad Habit?

 

mwb 1575 

I bought these cute little mini buckets for next to no money on a flea market many years ago, and they still make me smile. I use one to keep my toothpicks in, and the other two usually hold tiny bits and bobs like elastic bands or in this case a tiny block of alum and a mini nutmeg grater. Both of which I never use. I keep the alum to stop the bleeding when I cut my finger, but I always forget to use it! The little grater was packed with the nutmeg I bought and I cannot bring myself to throw it away!

I know, I know… I will throw it away after this post. I never really thought about it until now. ”Stuff” that lingers around can be such a bad habit!

  3. Just the kind of thing I would love to pick up at a flea market too. I love the way they make you smile years later. Money well spent I would say!

  8. Jientje, I like your little pieces of pottery.
    And since you got them MANY years ago, they could have become valuable. Checking on eBay might give you a starting place.
    Happy MidWeek Blues. :)
