thats what i love about trash to treasure..WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE? ..there are so many possibilities....now im scrapbookking, and its even worse....the lowliest scrap of old paper might be interesting

and hard to throw away...i have 100 yr old musicbooks.,old wallpaper, neat old embossed cardboard, damaged 100 yr old trade cards, etc etc......my basement is filling up...and down there waiting for me to do...whatever...

this week i met a mosaic artist..she makes wonderful birdhouses with old china....i have chppped antique dishes practically free.....so i told her,,,,she said her basement was full of dishes....kind of my paper pile im thinkin...

heres a new twist on trash to treasure.....i just found it..
