Junk Drawers Revenge

Everyone has one
Hidden away
A drawer full of Treasures
My child would say.

A Chipped Teacup
A babies head
A single earring
A troll named Ned.

Tommy's Tractor
With the broken wheel
Gradma's Doily
Alyssa always steals
The creamer from
An old tea set
A gold Fair prize
You would like to forget.

Sitting and waiting
Until the day
The kids discover them again
And take them out to play.

But you better watch out
You better empty it someday
Before it rebels
And attacks you this way.

MATERIALS:

My necklace is constructed of small forgotten things from my junk drawer. I have drilled holes in the solid ones and used wire wrapping to connect them to the gold necklace part. I have included a vintage tractor with a broken wheel. Doilys, teacup and creamer. Barbie Head, old easter toy, baby rattle, ring plate, duplex block, troll doll, mirror, shell, fruitloops, donkey pencil holder, cp30 from star wars, a windmill shaker and finally a single clip on earring as clasp.
