3 things


3 things
Originally uploaded by a1scrapmetal
I seem to have accumulated these 3 things.
The first was an empty pen refill that looks too good to throw away,
the second was a pair of nail clippers from a Xmas cracker when we went out for a lovely dinner at the Eve's, and the third off a pair of new socks that I bought in preparation for our trip to Norway in January...
Funny the things that gather on the window sill...!

This selection of needles were included..it was ripped when I tried to extract it from the thick pieces of selotape.
