Description:

Well the first two were so much fun I decided to do another.

You will scavenge a 6 x 9" (or larger) envie full of found goodies to mail to your partner. Examples include : old keys, ephemera, bottle caps, shiny things you found in the parking lot, found fabric, bits and bobs from the garage, you get the idea. The rule is that is must be a "found" item. Nothing new. You can bust your stash, walk around town staring at the ground like a crow, raid your garage, do some creative cutting on your old magazines, find stuff at the thrift store, raid the junk drawer of everyone you know. Think outside the box for sources. It's not profile based, your partner can have the fun of deciding what to do with the supplies in their crafts.

These kind of supplies are great for so much (dolls, frames, etc.) as we all know and it's a blast scavenging for these items. Make sure they are "clean" and usable. Any questions please pm me. Have fun! Everyone in good standing in the group is welcome.

Oh no... I missed the sign-up for this. :( I hope you'll host another round soon!

Awww, as much as I enjoy browsing my drawers for this, most of the stuff I find is either too bulky or too gross to stuff into my envie! Am I the only one with this 'problem"?
Is there anyone who could link me up with a (Flickr) photo of your treasures to help me along? :)

"walk around town staring at the ground like a crow"

I will never look at a crow the same way ever again.

I have spent the past few days with my eyes on the ground looking for something. It's like when you take your car to the shop and tell them it has this noise and they get in it and there is no noise.

I've always looked at the ground and seen all kinds of stuff. NOW, when I'm looking to FIND something - there's NOTHING there.
