Junk Drawer!

Some dust, fluff and ...not sure... wedged in one corner.

A set of car keys to a car I drove 20yrs ago.
Warranties to electrical items I no longer have.
Take out menus.
a piece of chalk (?)
magpie feather
One rubber glove (?)
Shopping receipts bulldog clipped together (approx 18+months old ?)
Very important looking small moulded plastic thing.
Various screws and cup hooks.
coins.
A folded microfibre cloth.

I have absolutely no idea why this neatly folded cloth lives inside the drawer. It's always been there. (?)

Maybe one day the mystery will be solved :)
 
A buckeye from a Tennessee tree resides in my drawer. I picked it up about 30 years ago for good luck. It's still there!

I have a junk drawer in every room. Living room one has batteries, cords, remotes and pens. Kitchen has the ties, hooks, matches, medicine cups and pens. Bedroom has old jewelry pieces, keychains and pens. You never know where you'll be when you need a pen. (Plenty in my purse, too).

LOL. I stash eyeglasses everywhere. In every room, purse, vehicle. I can never find my readers when I need them.

That would be a good thread, who has the most expired product in their home? It's amazing what you can find when you look behind things on the top shelf in the kitchen and in drawers.

I found a can of salmon in the far back corner of the top kitchen cabinet shelf that expired 8 years ago.

When my mother died I had to take inventory of everything I found in her pantry. Turned out that there were sizable numbers of canned goods over five years old. Having very limited weekly garbage space, I didn't hesitate to open one can just to empty the contents into the sink and flatten the can.

HUGE MISTAKE. Even a can of peaches poured out as black slime. Seriously gross! Couldn't handle the stench, so I ended up disposing of so many full cans of expired food products. Ugly...:eek::eek::eek:
 
A notepad from a charity you didn't really donate to. You felt the envelope and realizing there was a notepad inside, you took out the pad and threw away the donation envelope. Now it guilts you every time you open the drawer.
 
The (as yet unused) pencil with the museum logo printed all over it.

together with unnecessary pencil sharpener and ruler also emblazoned with museum logo because you just never knew when you'd need to draw a straight line with or sharpen your new (now old) museum pencil :)

No guilt here! I save and use all those unsolicited gifts of notepads and address return labels.
