Here is the note I received:
Reminds me of when I was a kid! Big hit with my son and his friends who are starting to lose teeth.
I've probably given away at least a thousand of these to all the students I've had throughout my teaching career. I had them year round for those that lost teeth, but gave at least one to every student during Oral Hygiene Week when we all reviewed how to brush and floss correctly and how important it was to keep our teeth happy and clean.
I couldn't go wrong with these because all kids loved them and even their siblings would come visit for one and tell me how their tooth fell out or wished one would.

Saying Goodbye: I have my own stash of these and they are the vintage, but look just like the ones in the photos, except they mine are in true bubble gum pink and and red, which are colors that are more difficult to find these days.

What I Learned:
1. Some of my favorite teacher detash have become popular items at our shops and these tooth holder lockets are some of them. The treasure chests can be used as tooth holder locket necklaces too and are also used as cupcake toppers for mermaid, pirate, tooth fairy and sweet tooth parties!
2. They could also be used to make mini garlands with secret mini gifts inside! I put little star beads in each order, just to make sure are all functional. Plus the sound of the rattling bead can be said to be a falling star from the tooth fairy or the magic good luck star from a reincarnated pirate or mermaid tooth!
3. I have saved all the non functional and broken ones for my mixed media art and do know how I'll be using these, however I don't seem to be making anything out of them yet!

If I were still teaching I'd have each of my students try one of these instant tooth brush miswak sticks to brush their teeth and then we'd have a class debate over which toothbrush was better and why. These tooth sticks do not need toothpaste and are much more eco friendly compared to a plastic conventional toothbrush.
We only use miswak sticks and it's the best alternative toothbrush I've found so far! Available at all our shops, but the ones in the photo are here

I'm still relisting and new listing things at all the shops weekly, but
since summer is approaching and sales slow down after Mother's
day, I've decided to keep stock at about 192, instead of 200 and see what happens this time around.
I've noticed that browsing and searching items on Etsy shops takes a lot
longer with the new shop format, at least it does with me, even if I'm
looking for something specific!
Due to less browsing, I have found something healthier to do, like I've started a simple exercise plan! I started 2 days ago, which has really
helped me as a recovering hoarder to not buy anything more and try something else as a healthier alternative!
As a recovering hoarder, I hope exercising outlasts my window shopping habits! Only time will tell! Wish me luck!
Click on the shop names to visit new hoard listed daily and/or weekly: HoarderRehab with 191 items, The Destiny of Things- 191 items, VintageToGoEasy - 192 items and JunkDrawerAndMore - 190 items
Looks like I'll be adding more new listings this week to keep up with 192 items per shop.
