Our kids have become quite the archeologists these days around our 90 year old log cabin. Every time it storms, the sandy soil on the hillside next to our house erodes, revealing various items from the distant past. The kids have discovered so many items that they even started collecting them in their “treasure garden.” Some of the items are recognizable while others are merely pieces or fragments, which leads us to make guesses and pretend to be archaeologists for the day. They may not find any gold treasure buried in that hillside, but these little treasure hunters don’t seem to mind.

Junk Drawer Collage
Most of us have at least one drawer in our house where we keep random objects, discarded game pieces, ticket stubs, pens, paper clips, bottle caps, toys, and lots more. The contents of a drunk drawer are unique to each home, but they share a common thread. While the items may appear to be forgotten, they can say a lot about where we’ve been and what we’ve experienced. They reveal a little bit about who we are and what we treasure. This junk can even serve as a beautiful work of art as our junk drawer collage shows. What does your junk drawer look like?
