going through my stash always inspires me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sometimes i wish i could have them all on display</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just so i will be reminded to use them instead of hoarding</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the other day while looking for something else</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i found several containers with vintage crystals</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i didn't realize i had so many</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which lead me to a few bags of metal flowers, leaves and a few pins</div>
