·I’m doing a deep dusting and vacuum of the house after a few days of intense forest fire smoke, and found it to be a good adventure to rediscover some interesting decor pieces I’ve put together. What nicknacks do you have that bring you joy?
The driver of the deep clean was this:
Here’s what I “found”
A broken cargo hook I found on the beach on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast one summer. The Sunshine Coast was a popular spot for rum runners to load US-bound cargo during prohibition. It makes me wonder what amount of swearing might have followed when a crate of booze broke loose and disappeared under the ocean back in the ‘20s 🤬
And net weights from a Lake Huron beach in Ontario. First Nations would drill holes in the rocks so they could tie these weights to the bottom of their nets back in the day. I used the same set up when smelt fishing back when I lived there. I didn’t have to hand-drill through rock though, just needed to get some weights at Canadian Tire 😝
