Re-cycle Stuff!

I am a person who believes in good, positive energy which is why I ask people to donate/give me things to build my models. By them giving me these things with a free and happy heart that energy then goes into my models and makes people smile.The models I create are made mostly out of recycled materials and lots of it. I have even had 'thing's' given to me that have been special to someone. 'Thing's' that people don't want to throw away but know that they can not keep either. Such as button collections from great aunt May.
So they send them to me knowing that it will be incorporated into the models that give delight and a warm fuzzy feeling to all the young at heart.'Thing's' that will, if my dream comes true, be placed into a miniature village, a miniature World that will be seen by lots of people and give years of happiness.

A few of the natural items I use to make 'things'.

A selection of artificial items I have been given.

Below I have supplied a list of the items I am looking for, ALTHOUGH it is by no means the only things I am looking for. There are 'things' out there, lurking in drawers and cupboards just waiting to be found and given a new lease on life, and I don't even know they exist, so how can I ask for them. You are the only one that can achieve this so dig into your drawers and unearth something ordinary, something strange and let me make it into some AMAZING!

Some of the 'things' I have made from items given to me by people like you.
