The tag challenge is into week 9. The prompt this week was Bits and Bobs and a Gift. 

Lots of invitation in this to explore the accumulated stash for items to use. I had recently unpacked a gift that came with an Etsy purchase and it was pinned to a piece of grey fabric. The fabric was just the right size for the base of this tag which was just so fortuitous that it had to be used. Alongside the fabric it came with a quote that I could use as well.

Lace and buttons to tie back to the other tags created and more stitching of french knots and fly stitch but this time experimenting with metallic thread. Not so easy to use and some interesting knots created.The flower button, fabric circle, starfish button and the fabric scraps are all part of the stash that has grown over the years.

What is in your stash? Where do you keep your treasures? Is it sometimes hard to part with something that has been there for a while?
