Archived clutter......




I found this photo that I had taken a year ago when I was unloading the wooden box of it's contents.  It makes for a nice still life of things from the past.

They look like jingle bells. The old wooden box has such character and the toy tractor is so colorful. Great stuff for your still ilfe paintings.

Interesting to identify all the pieces. I recognise the bells but I'm blowed if I can remember where they were used. I wonder what was that lidded pot used for.

The lidded container is an inkwell that fit into school desks that have those predrilled holes in them. We had them when I was a kid but I had never seen what went into them until I found these.

I love this kind of clutter, Larry. That looks like an old ink bottle. And old bells but the thing with the open lid is unique.

Big and Small...

 The miniature daffodils are so petite compared to the normal sized daffodil. I don't think I have ever brought the small ones inside be...
