I had a couple of people from the ephemera group suggest I share this here. These are the contents of my great-grandmother's purse, which I found when cleaning out the back of one of my parent's closets. She died at the age of 92 in the early 70s, so this is likely what she was carrying around with her sometime not too long before her death. Just thought it was a neat snapshot of daily life that was unintentionally preserved. (I blurred out names and addresses on items for privacy).

Was inspired to do some batch dyeing this weekend! Used three bottles of Rit dye and 1 package of colour remover.
Top row dyed wine red, middle row purple (number 10 was dyed with both those colours), bottom row royal blue. I’ve listed the original colours and fabric type of the garments below.
All were soaked for 1 hour in a large plastic storage bin with the hottest water from my tap, the dye, a tablespoon of salt, a tablespoon of dish soap, and periodically stirred.
I also dyed 5 other items that didn’t noticeably change colour - they were nylon/ polyester blends and I didn’t have vinegar but I thought I’d try anyways.

1- salmon, nylon
2-light orange, wool
3-lavender (used remover), cotton
4- lavender, wool
5- light yellow (used remover), cotton
6- blue, cotton
7- light yellow, cotton
8- light pink, cotton
9- white (used elastics for tye-dye effect), cotton
10- fuscia, wool
11- slightly more faded blue, cotton
12- light grey, nylon
13- baby blue, wool
14- cream, wool
15- light yellow, cotton
16- cream, cotton and 5% elastin

I am indeed aware that not every object that came from my hammer bucket can actually be classified as a hammer. I just got tired of looking elsewhere for the two most common demolition hand-objects I use in conjunction with a rip hammer.

(everything except my food and clothes)

last week visited casablanca, morocco. this is the haul of (almost) everything I got from that trip including duty free shops. mostly snacks and gifts tbh

All the stuff I wear (clothes not included, obviously) and carry on a skating tour. Feel free to ask any questions!

This stopped working, so I opened it. One little spring got lost.

Bread tags I’ve been saving for my junk journal (with stickers to border)

I love collecting a variety of these on my nature walks.
