Treasure Chest Filler Fun for Kid's: The Destiny of Things, Story 309

Treasure Chest Filler Fun for Kid's:  The Destiny of Things, Story 309

From buried treasure map hunts to gifts, who doesn't love a treasure chest?

I have a treasure chest like the one above and a cardboard one, somewhere in my hoard from my teaching days and both were full of reward prizes!

An Etsy buyer from JunkDrawerAndMore sent me a short note letting me know that she's making a pirate treasure chest for her newphew and was using these coins and rings to fill it up!  How fun!

Shiny gold coins in amounts from 10-100, available here

I've used both types of these coins at pirate parties and it's always interesting to see which ones the kid's like best.  They also make great pinata fillers and look great falling when the pinata gets busted!  Also great filler for party favor bags.

They also work for mermaid treasure chests and look great as table confetti for Casino parties, gold themed retirement parties and King Queen Prince or Princess parties.

And last but not least, you can have fun kid's playing heads and tails until they figure out that both sides are heads!

These look really fake, but to little kids they look more like they've been buried in a treasure chest and many prefer these because of the pirate skull on them!

I have had several Etsy buyers let me know they use these for cupcake toppers, but I have no idea how food safe these are and they don't seem to be made for food decor because the black stuff is just painted on.

On to the rings....

10 carnival style adjustable metal rings, available here

Had I known these were going to her nephew, I would have switched out the flower power rings for her.  I just love carnival prizes, especially the kitschy type of birthstone rings.  I have pirate skull rings somewhere too.  Hopefully I will find them hoard diving soon!

Here is the pirate skull ring in a mini pirate collection that fits in a diamond!
It includes a poison bottle necklace, mini treasure chest and more!
Available here.  photo via JunkDrawerAndMore

Saying Goodbye:  These treasure chest coins and rings had accumulated over the years from various parties and as a recovering hoarder I could not through them out!  They now have sold well enough to keep in stock!

What I Learned:

1.  I am surprised at how much of my hoard has become popular and how much we continue to keep in stock at the shops.

2.  So until I get tired of all my childhood favorites, some of our Etsy items will remain listed and in stock because my hope is that they bring back old memories while making new ones!

Thank you Etsy buyer from JunkDrawerAndMore  for sending a short note letting me know you are making a treasure chest for your nephew as a gift.  As a kid, I remember the treasure chest at the dentist office and staring in wonder at all the possibilities!  He's going to have so much fun.

I wonder if you are going to bury it and then give him a map!  I used to bury these mini treasure chests and other treasures in different large cups or buckets and hide them around the classroom and give all the students a shovel, (or even a spoon will do!) map and compass to have fun while learning, the cardinal directions and become familiar with a compass rose!

Syringe Pens for Nurse Gifts: The Destiny of Things, Story 308

Syringe Pens for Nurse Gifts:  The Destiny of Things, Story 308

Thinking the same thing!  Great to pass out at any medical related parties!

The last of the last syringe pens, available here

Here is the short note I received:

Funny. Perfect for the nurse in the family. 

I bought a bunch of these for those in my family in the medical field and they thought they were fun and funny too!  At the next family gathering I was asked to bring more for the teachers and children too!  It's a great introduction prop for teaching the little ones about "Good drugs and bad drugs."

Kids love the old fashioned clicker pens and they write in black ink, so it's perfect for anyone in the medical field to keep handy.  Watch out, people will lay claim to these, so it's best to have extras on hand, so everyone is happy.

The last of the last syringe pens, available here

Saying Goodbye:  I am actually happy to be saying good bye to these!  They were a lot more fun giving away to family than packaging orders!

I first bought a batch for family stocking stuffers and gift wrap toppers for Christmas and then again when it was requested for another family gathering.  They were so well loved and fun by my family and anyone else I knew in the medical field that I thought I'd share them with others on Etsy.

Some family members still request them, so I've saved a couple that I keep in my purse to use when I write checks or sign credit cards, etc. but after these last 8 get ordered, we will no longer stock them.

The last 8 syringe pens, available here

What I Learned:

1.  These sold well, but they took a lot of care to package and ship out, so we are no longer going to stock them.

2.  As a teacher, I loved using these in the classroom as a prop introduction with the book, "Good Drug, Bad Drug" with the same book my parents used to read to us too, until we could read it ourselves. 

3.  As a kid, I first saw one tied to the clip board at the doctor's office and they bring back fond childhood memories of my pediatrician, so I was so happy when I found these again. 

4.  Also, they also make easy and instant props for around the house during Halloween!  They tend to grow legs and walk off to other homes!

5.  I hope these bring back memories for you too and make new ones as well!

The last 8 syringe pens, available here

Thank you Etsy buyer from The Destiny of Things for sending me sending me a short note.  It reminds me of how these little pens can really make someone's day brighter! or makes a fun thank you for anyone in the medical field.
 
Thank you Etsy for the best Hoarder Rehab ever it's always interesting being an Etsy seller with my hoard!

Thank you all readers from all over the world who have stopped by to visit my Hoarder Rehab and The Destiny of Things!

Unfortunately, I am still quite techless and the new computer system I'm using is challenging for me, so my dehoarding goals are going much slower than usual!  But I am determined to reach my goal and list 200 items on each shop again!

100 Rockabilly Carnival Gun Charms for Mixed Media Collage Art: The Destiny of Things, Story 307

100 Rockabilly Carnival Gun Charms for Mixed Media Collage Art:  The Destiny of Things, Story 307

An Etsy artist buyer left a story!

 Choose an amount: 100 or less carnival gun charms, available here
photo via Hoarder Rehab

Here is the email he sent:

I got these last week and I'm over the moon! I couldn't be more pleased. I am a multimedia artist and will use the gun charms in collage assemblages. I'll try to remember to share pix. :-)

I was over the moon when I got these too because there were over a 1000 of them and they looked so cool all together!

He ordered 100 and I am so curious as to how these will look in some collage assemblages.  I bet they will look amazing!

I have my fingers crossed because I hope he remembers to share a pix!  Maybe next time, he needs some we can make a trade or something.

I have thousands of these and would love some ideas on how to use them all.  I was thinking of sewing them on to the ends of a scarf to add fringe or around a bandanna for a kitschy look.  Or perhaps around a rockabilly style table cloth to keep it weighted for an outside picnic table.

So many ideas and so little time!

 Choose an amount: 100 or less carnival gun charms, available here
If I remember correctly, these come in 8-10 different colors.

Saying Goodbye:  As a repetition artist I had so many of these, I thought I'd never run out!  I had them stored in a large 12 x 12 inch box, but now they fit in a shoe box.  I have to remember to stash some away for myself now!

So many of these have been ordered, but without stories, so I am happy that someone sent one to me and they might send me an update too.   So fun!

 Choose an amount: 100 or less carnival gun charms, available here
If I remember correctly, these come in 8-10 different colors.

What I Learned:

1.  I seem to have more ideas for crafting than I actually spend crafting. And I also seem to spend a lot of time searching and money buying kitschy stuff I love for crafting thinking I'll list some and then they'll pay for themselves and I can buy more stuff for crafting!  

I think I'm starting to see the vicious circle I am with all my crafting stuff and on top of it all, it just never seems enough.  And all the time I spend looking and buying leaves me very little time to create. 

How do you break the vicious circles you find yourself following?

2.  The upside is some of my art found some good homes via Etsy.  A fiber art brooch and a loteria card nicho sold.  And even better, I didn't  go out and spend the money on buying more art supplies.  That is progress.

The pink clover flower patch brooch sold, but the some of the others, like the shamrock clover are available here
photo via Hoarder Rehab

3.  Several artists have ordered our gun charms, but this is the first for 100!  A close second is a different artist wanted to order 100 of our gold guns, but at the time, we only had 70 mini gold and silver guns for her mosaic art project.  I wish I could see how that one turned out also.

 These mini  gold guns have been used in steampunk art, iphone cover case bling  art, James Bond cupcake toppers, gender reveal table confetti and more, available here
photo via JunkDrawerAndMore

Thank you Etsy buyer from Hoarder Rehab  for sending me an email story.  I appreciate the thought and kindness and hope you remember to send an photo update.  Thank you so much!

I am so looking forward to see how you use the colorful guns are used in mixed media collage art!  Maybe you'll open a shop on Etsy for all to see!
Thank you Etsy for the best Hoarder Rehab ever and for helping me make connections I would not normally make since I am shy!  

Thank you all readers from all over the world who have stopped by to visit my Hoarder Rehab and The Destiny of Things!

 My loteria card nicho also sold around the same time as my clover art brooch.  More of my loteria art nichos available here, here or here.

I am back to working on my dehoarding goals and am starting to list new items and relist at each shop!  My goal is to list 200 items on each shop again!  I am challenged with Etsy's new listing formats and also I'm getting used to a new computer system, so the listing is happening slowly, but surely!

Back to School Gum Ball Machine Capsules: The Destiny of Things, Story 306

Back to School Gum Ball Machine Capsules:  The Destiny of Things, Story 306

A teacher story who uses them as fun writing prompts in the classroom!

50 or 100 empty gum ball vending machine capsules, available here
photo via HoarderRehab

Here is his email in hopes of inspiring many little future authors:

I am a second grade teacher and am constantly looking for ways to engage my students in creative writing. With all the academic writing we do, I worry that the joy and thrill of writing for pleasure gets lost on occasion. And so... my plan for these capsules:

In a small container in my classroom, each capsule will be filled with 1 random creative prompt. At various opportunities, students will have the chance to take one capsule and engage in a creative writing piece with the prompt inside, BUT they may only take one!

My hope is that with these little capsules and some quick, easy-to-start creative writing prompts, I can put a little more joy and excitement back into school writing!

Thanks for your products! :)

How fun and enticing that will be for a classroom full of second graders this fall!  I remember when I was a teacher thinking up ways to make all kinds of different writing motivating and fun after all the mandatory daily academic writing assignments too!

Here are some of the ones my third graders enjoyed:

1.  Since students sneak and write secret notes to each other anyway,  we had "note" passing time in class.  Depending on how much time we had in our daily academic schedule, it was like taking a 5 to 15 minute break and
it was time when "note passing" was allowed!

Everyone got a notepad like the one below and could pass notes to their heart"s content until the designated time of the timer went off!  And let me assure you, it's a quiet break until the timer goes off and then there would be plenty of disappointing groans!

Just Say NO, lined memo pads, available here

I would get plenty of notes of my own from students, especially shy students who would want to ask something, but not outloud.at this time.  It was a good time to set an example for personal letter writing.

Which reminds me, the formal lesson to "Note Passing 101" was how to format and write business or personal letters, so we stayed within the academic boundaries!

We had many ways to take quick fun breaks in the classroom and this one was one of the more popular ones!

Wouldn't it had been more fun passing notes with these gum ball capsules?

50 or 100 empty gum ball vending machine capsules, available here

There are others, but I'm running out of time here, so here is a short one I think would be fun using the gum ball capsules.  The curriculum of third grade students at my school had to study the Five or More Senses for Science and I would mingle it with descriptive writing. 

Wouldn't it be fun, if each student had to take an empty gum ball capsule and fill it with a tangible non edible favorite and then describe it in writing using their five senses for homework.

Then later the next day they randomly choose one after you've collected their homework or could trade it with someone else who did their homework and write their descriptions and then afterwards compare the similarities and differences of their writing descriptions.

If any teachers out there try this out, let me know how it goes!

If you need less than 50, they are in amounts of 20, 25, or 30 here
photo via HoarderRehab

Saying Goodbye:  I have been collecting gum ball capsules and the toy prizes inside them since high school.  I have an on going art project using these gum ball capsules and my penny gum ball machine!

What I Learned:

1.  I think I like thinking up fun student lessons and trying them out in the classroom, rather than all the mandatory lesson planning, scheduling and all the academics that focused and prepped for the National and State tests that were basically scripted when I left teaching.  

I hope if it's still that way, teachers can put the FUN back into teaching in their own ways, like the second grade teacher in his email!

2.  Phew, teaching is stressful and just writing about it again brought me stress!  Work stress is calculated by how many decisions one has to make in a minute.  Can you imagine what goes through a teachers mind each minute with 30 students with all their different modalities, needs, levels and time constraints, etc?

Moving on!

We welcome requests for various theme colors and they do run out quickly!

Thank you Etsy buyer from Hoarder Rehab  for leaving me such a detailed and fun email!  It brought back some nostalgic memories!  Thank you so much!  

Kudos to you for keeping the joy and excitement in learning!  Good luck with your second graders and let me know how inspiring your gum ball writing prompts are this year!  I'd love to hear about it!  Maybe one of the prompts will be to write the gum ball capsule lady on Etsy!

Gorham Suncatcher Peace Dove Ornament: The Destiny of Things, Story 305

Gorham Suncatcher Peace Dove Ornament:  The Destiny of Things, Story 305

This went to a crystal peace dove collector and returned with a story!

We have a copperish twin peace dove nicho, available here

This was another story exchanged for a discount.

Here is her story:

I love this for my collection of Gorham Peace Doves on a metal twig tree I will keep displayed all year to remind me of the peace that is needed in my life and the world! Thank you for such great communications. I wish you well in your journey!

Saying Goodbye:  What a great way to keep a visual reminder to remain peaceful all day!  I wonder how many she has on her metal twig tree.   

Since I'm allergic to dust, we can't have a large Christmas tree for the holidays and even though I'm having a difficult time parting with my ornaments, at least this one left peacefully without anxiety issues!

Creative Playthings domino peace dove, available here

What I Learned:

1.   I am such a collector of knick knacks!  Too bad they collect so much dust!

2.  I am having such a hard time letting go of my Christmas ornaments, yet I have more than enough to decorate a large tree.  I have just made the decision to keep the ones from my childhood and the ones that were handmade, which are probably more than enough to decorate a small tree.

3.  The upside of being allergic to dust is that we hire a cleaning service to clean the house weekly.  Every time I see a knick knack I want to buy, I need to remind myself that the cleaning service is more important for my health than dust bunnies!

Since I'm allergic to most metals in jewelry, I made this when I thought I still wanted to wear jewelry, available here

Thank you Etsy buyer from VintageToGoEasy for exchanging your story for a discount!  I love that my our your Gorham peace dove is with other doves as a reminder to stay calm.

Not My Favorite Mink Jacket! The Destiny of Things, Story 304

Not My Favorite Mink Jacket!  The Destiny of Things, Story 304

I had to let go of my mink jacket from my fur collection!

One last piece of my mink collection, available here
photo via Hoarder Rehab

This Etsy shopper said she often toured my shop and when she made an order, boy did she make an order!  She took a half a dozen things with her!  including one of my favorite furs! 

Yes, I hoarded furs, but I didn't plan on it.  Many came from family and friends, some from one of my thrifting buddies who kept telling me to make them into couch pillows, until I was convinced that I would one day!

She asked for a discount and since she was ordering so much, I obliged as long as she sent her story too!  Oh yeah, she's a hoarder also! and a Miranda!

Here is her fun email and her cat from all the hoard packages:

For the first 20 years of my professional life were spent as an actress/singer/dancer on Broadway. During those years I dressed in my fantasies. I frequented second hand shops in the Village and the Lower East Side. This was long before "retro" and "vintage" became synonymous with expensive. I found a cache of late '30s and 40s Joan Crawford style dresses. Heaven! I found veiled hats, gloves and purses to match.

My second career was as a college professor. No more extravagant dressing. I had to suppress my bohemian spirit for nearly 20 years! I retired 3 years ago and now I can do whatever the blazes I want! This fur lined jacket gives me that old thrill. When I wear it I'll feel like a glamorous Hollywood doyenne.

The fact that I am a hoarder myself and have 2 closets full of clothes I no longer wear, need not diminish my delight in owning this showy beauty. Mr. Miranda, it's curious, is it not, that we share not only behavior, taste, but also our names? Synchronicity, serendipity, or just plain good karma. Whatever the reason, I'm glad we met.

 Oh the hoard, the hoard....
I look like that a lot!  My hoard can be exhausting!

How exciting!  She can wear whatever she wants now!  I know how she feels because after a career of wearing teacher clothes, I am so glad I can just meander around in my jeans and tee shirts now!

That's funny!  I still have most of my teacher clothes too! and I can't seem to part with them, but I can't think of one occasion where I'd ever where them again.  It's time to think about how they must relate to my hoard and see if I can part with some by listing them.  Expect to see more cat head fashion again!

I am so happy she loves this mink jacket!  I loved it too!  I wore it a couple of times with the satin side showing because the mink feels so yummy inside, but it just doesn't get cold enough in Los Angeles and now I'm allergic to most furs, except for some dogs.  So I listed them all and all but one has sold.

I love the satin side and Ms. Miranda loves the mink side showing!

One last piece of my mink collection, available here
photo via Hoarder Rehab

Saying Goodbye:  At the time, I was slightly sad to see this go, but maybe it was because she bought so many other things too.  I don't seem to do well when I part with my hoard too quickly.

For the past couple of weeks, sales have been high and I've been parting with hoard left and right.  Off the top of my head over 30 items a week!  Can that be, right?  No wonder I've been feeling somewhat off. 

She got this Oshibana Japanese How To Press flower book too, but it wasn't difficult to part with because it's available as an ebook here
photo via Hoarder Rehab

What I Learned:

1.  Dehoarding is a slow journey.  I keep having to remind myself I've been hoarding since childhood, so there isn't going to be a quick solution to dehoard.  I've have purged several times during my adult life and my hoard will just boomerang right back ten fold like the weight gain after a bad fad diet!

This time I'm trying to be more conscious of the digging for the reasons I hoard, the stress triggers that lead me astray towards retail therapy overload and focusing on my goals daily, like the visual pictures I have in my mind of how I want my house to look and how much healthier a dustless, clutterless space will be for my mind and body.

Some days are easier than others, but now I can find silver linings with each back slide.

Hmm... I didn't notice until now, but she is going for an Asian theme!

Speaking of goals!  I have a friend who opened her shop, FawnLilyVintage and now we are both dehoarding.  She hopes to move soon and is cleaning out her closet.  
 
Check out her closet here!  She has some beautiful vintage dresses, mainly lacy romantic clothing.  Some of my favorites are this lovely sheer grey dress here, oh my it's already reserved for someone!  That was my favs of favs!
 
Other favorites are: this 70s paisley dress,  I wonder if that's a little drawstring bow, so cute!  This classic lace sleeved 60s cocktail dress here, love the lbd bow at the waistline.  Love this vintage black velvet blazer that would go with anything from jeans to my favd dresses!  
 
I have so many favs, so go see for yourself, but here is my last one, I love this Lanvin blue shirt dress from the 70s!

It's nice to have some mutual support!  If you would like to dehoard too and open your shop let me know and we can both have 40 free listings!  It's a good way to dip your toe in the water and get started!  We can help each other learn along the way!
