My grandma had this special drawer in her house where she kept what she called 'odds and ends'. Sometimes, we would find the most unique things in her odds and ends drawer. I think it was her catch all for busy days. When she wasn't sure what to do with something...it found it's way into the odds and ends drawer. I swear she probably had 8,000 band-aids, an old packet of vintage kool aid, $1,000 in pennies, thread, shoe polish, pens, tape, cut out recipes, unidentified family photos, and probably the cure for the common cold stashed in her odds and ends drawer!
This is our odds and ends page. Things that we think are worthwhile, but they didn't make it into an article, so they're here...on the odds and ends page. Clearly unique to our online magazine, but we like to be different! We think they're things that might brighten your day, offer some encouragement, or give you one final creative idea before your leave this issue of 'For your Heart and Home'.

Salt Clay Hearts
We made some Salt Clay hearts and imprinted them with 100-year-old crochet. On several of them we decoupaged pages from an 1878 hymnal. We also used stampers and distressed ink on others. They turned out very cute. They are great to add in with gifts. We tucked them in around plants and photos. On some of them we added a hole so they could be hung up.
