zippers from grandma::very exciting

a few days ago we visited grandma e, she had a bag of zippers ready for us. how wonderful! the bag has been sitting on in our family room (office, reading, work space.... i guess it could be called "studio" but it isn't really, we just spend a lot of time in this one room, working, creating and just plain being).


first the zippers had to be discovered, which was really just a screening look around the room by thea. our very keen little worker spotted it right away and went to work. all had to be dumped and researched...



as so m any times before, those zippers had to become necklaces and anything imaginable. we played those games with lots of other long things. for some reason all of our kids loved to hang things around their neck, be it climbing ropes, cables, wool and yes naomi loved the magnet-bands of cassette tapes! yes she loved to pull the brown band out and one time, she even took a stapler from my desk to do her "office work".....
it's a few years back, i can laugh about it now!
