Nostalgia - Finding Vintage items right in your home.

Hello everyone! Ok so today I wanted to talk about found objects. Last week I did a thorough cleaning. I found 2 little canisters in my cupboard. They contained some goodies that I just had to share. Don't ask me why these two little canisters were not packed away in a closet. :) . I had fun looking over them. I found my mom's button collection and her charm bracelet! I have always loved her button collection and now I suspect I had that canister handy for a future project. Now that I think of it I should make a mixed media piece with all the buttons and paints and stuff on a canvas lol.

The charm bracelet is adorable. She has many charms. I told my sister about the charm bracelet and I am now passing it to her for a keepsake. My sister has a wonderful charm bracelet with many charms. Maybe I can get her to send me a picture of it to post to this blog.

The button collections speaks for itself. My mom used to wear a satin jacket (70's style) and she changed her buttons every few days. 

Ok so I am hoping I will get some stories of your charm bracelet and maybe describe some of your favorite charms. Share your story of any found objects in your home while cleaning and especially if they are vintage or passed down from your family.

Comment below share your story about a charm bracelet or some other little treasure you have found while cleaning, packing or unpacking.
