Treasures

This set of photographs -- called "Things Worth Knowing" by Sivan Lewin -- reminds me of that scene in Amelie when she opens the little tin of treasures found behind the tile in the bathroom.

Enchanting.

Ohhhh, I love that scene! And these photos are truly magical. Make me want to gather some of my ephemera in a box or tin, and photograph it. Thanks for sharing this!

it's so like what's in my dresser now:
from my mom's dresser after she died--purses in plastic, thimbles and all.
thank you so much for discovering and sharing!
