These last 6 months, even though I haven't had opportunities to junk as frequently as I have in the past, it doesn't mean that I'm hoard-free.
In fact, I have loads of what I call "tiny hoards" all over my home. Little trays and cigar boxes house my hoard, simply to make me happy. I love that when I reach for the tv remote, the above tray is right in my face. It makes me smile. Even if I'm watching bad tv.
Since I rarely let anyone inside the warehouse my home except my sister, she gets to enjoy them too. Coincidentally, I've also become enamored of "flat lay" photography, due to some awesome Instagrammers and Facebookers, namely my Aussie junk sister Tamarah of Shabby Vintage Junk.
Behold Tiny Hoard #1:
I know it made you smile, too.
I would love to come to your home. Im judgment free. It cant be any worse than some of my most favorite places on the earth :) Laura

I have little hoards, too. Many. Thank you for sharing yours.

I love this post. Tiny treasures are hard to resist and are often overlooked. The little hoards are easy to hide away and fun to rediscover.
My two year old granddaughter delights in uncovering treasures while visiting and instinctively finds my best stuff.
I am looking forward to seeing more of yours in future posts!

It did. And (to no one's surprise) I have that exact bracelet.

I am smiling and thank you for identifying that kind of photography. I like it too and didn't know it actually had a name.

Lots of little hoard here too (surprise, surprise). Fun stuff and love following Tamarah. I got to hang out with her when she was stateside and she is a gem.

Tiny hoard is my new favorite phrase (a much better way to describe my decor). Yes, made me smile too.

I do this too... not to mention my actual room and garage full of junk!
