Little Treasure House

Shawn and I are still doing our "stupid little walks for our stupid health" pandemic walks and today we came across something unique. This Crayola yellow house bills itself as a "little free treasure" house. That's a light up key fob that I put in there because it was currently empty. I think this is such a lovely idea. In fact, Shawn and I are thinking about attaching one to our current little free library so we can slowly divest our house of all the little weird McDonald's toys and whatnot we've accumulated thanks to years of having a smol in the house. In the meantime, I put together a small box of some stuff that had been kicking around on the sunporch waiting to be moved to the attic and will take it over to this existing one over the next few days. 

Apparently, you can follow this one on Instagram under @littletreasurehouse and over on Facebook. 

What a cute idea!

Isn't it? Such a cool idea.

Nice! Do the doors open and shut? I like the idea that you could open them and find *anything*

[lydamorehouse]

The doors DO open and shut! And, yes, from their Instagram it looks like people leave all sorts of fun little treasures--painted rocks, little toys--all sorts of things. Isn't it wonderful?

I love this!

[lydamorehouse]

SAME!

That is really inspired. P.

[lydamorehouse]

It really is, and we have so much stuff around the house that would be perfect to give away thanks to having had the smol around. Like, I am shocked how many wind-up little walking toys we have around. One, I expected, but a half dozen?? DO THEY MULTIPLY ON THEIR OWN????

It's adorable!

Also, more postcards, yay!

[lydamorehouse]

Oh good, I'm glad the postcards are still making it your way. I send them out once a week, so blame royal mail or provincial mail if they are not coming regularly.

And, yeah, the treasure house is weirdly cute and fun.

Oh, that is neat!

....we are about to start stupid little walks for our stupid health as directed by stupid medical professionals. Whee.

[lydamorehouse]

I hope your stupid little walks for your stupid health also net you some delightful finds like the little treasure house!!

[abracanabra]

Oh, that is absolutely delightful!

[lydamorehouse]

I really think so too!
