Here is the note I received:
These eggs were perfect for my at home claw game. Kids love it. Total success!
Total success is music to my ears! I wonder what a home claw game looks like and what kinds of prizes were inside these capsules? I've seen claw or grabber machines at arcades and stores, like Frys, but not a home claw game.
Thank you google!
Oh, I see, it's just a mini version of the arcade sized claw machine. How fun! Kids can practice their fine motor skills. I don't see any capsule prizes in this one! But I can see how the capsules could hold alternative prizes to candy, like coupons inside to skip a chore or get an extra story read at bedtime, small toys, even a dollar bill!

Saying Goodbye: These have become one of our best seller, so we won't be saying goodbye to these any time soon, especially since Etsy buyers keep coming up with so many different uses for them. It still amazes me! Home claw machines prize container is new way of using them for me.
They come in 9 different colors, but we get so many requests of all black or all white or black and white mix, that we sell them separately.
What I Learned:
1. Etsy buyers are so creative! It never ceases to amaze me at all the different ways one can use these plastic capsules! Let me list the ways off the top of my head: cupcake topper sprinkles, wedding exit confetti, seeds, dry flowers, rice, etc., some turned them into pineapples for themed table confetti, some have turn them into little apples for bento boxes, to hold bath bomb surprises, like money and jewelry.
I've use mine to ship off lots of jewelry, especially religious medals, bracelets, rings and necklaces, also samples of small things in the mail, like spices and tea because these are basically crush proof, however they are not leak proof, so liquids will not fair so well, but slime might, like unicorn poop and oobleck.
2. I've bought enough stuff for my new Etsy adventure and I'm finding I'm just using the stuff I already have, so I guess I'm saving it for later, until I really get the momentum going! All I know is that I'm doing what I love with all the gusto I have and have no idea where that will take me!

We have the capsules in all one color too, like green above, if you need some to pinch proof yourself for St Patrick's day and/or need to pass out some luck of the Irish candies or four leaf clovers!

Thank you Etsy buyer for ordering from JunkDrawerAndMore and letting me know how you used them. And I learned something new, like what a home claw game looks like and what kind of prizes are in them.
I've been working on a Farmer's Market bag for the past six years.... wow, has it been that long already? The only reason why I know is because I embroidered a quote on it and the date reads 2013! I've been kantha stitching on it and experimenting with free style sashiko on it. The last couple of days I turned all the edges.
I'll take photos of it this weekend, but it's still in it's early stages with a lot of hand stitched bias stitches and safety pins to hold the two fabrics in place without getting all bunched up.
It continues to rain, so I'm still rain washing a lot of boro, kimonos, happi coats and other stinko quilts and clothing. Other people's laundry detergent smell so strong these days! Good thing a lot of it is boro, so I can keep on washing it til the smells come out!
As a matter of fact, I'm shortening the time I spend on this blog posting, so I can get back to my projects! How exciting is that?!?
Any new excitement in your life? I'm so excited about my new creative outlet and hoarding alternative that I noticed I need less food and sleep to function and have a lot more energy now.

My goal of listing on each shop
until each has 180 items had been reached at 3 shops! but more hoard has sold! So I'll be new listing again this weekend.
We are having 20% off sales at all our shops at the moment. They are
kind of rolling shop sales, which just seemed to happen, so I think JunkDrawerAndMore's sale will be ending soon.
I've been trying to adopt this new way of thinking, "Be willing to forgo all perceptions of gain, desire or profit and thereby be willing to be of selfless service to life in all it's expressions," but it's really difficult for me and putting it in to practice is very wishy washy for me. Anyone out there have any suggestions to help me?
I'm still trying to figure out how to price items and how much I should charge for my time. I feel carefree about the time it takes me to make things, but not so much when it comes to new listing, describing in detail, especially vintage items which usually have some sort of flaws going on and Etsy chores, like cross marketing. Anyone out there have a reference guide from their own experiences I could try?
My new love for making textile art automatically sets my priorities for me in a way I never imagined. Some of it's on Hoarder Rehab in the handmade by me section, here.
