novelties

spent Friday rummaging in my new crazy cupboard. there was an infinite project of sorting to undertake: poms poms from glitter beads, pipe cleaners from ribbon, craft feathers from popsicle sticks, etc. etc. and all under the maddening, inescapable and oddly itchy presence of years worth of spilled glitter. below, a few good finds: details

noble scraps 
good work find**

** to be clear, for those of you not born in the dusty and brown-paper lined decades of yore, the above rectangle gridded and labeled with the strange "date due" was an actual card that got stamped (by human locomotion, with a large rubber dating stamp that had a profoundly satisfying sound when fiercely clomped onto paper) and manually tucked into an oaktag envelope on the back of library books to let that patron know when her library materials were expected back because other, eager, book-reading patrons were often eager to have their go at reading them. now you knowwwww.
