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!
