    Default Those pesky unidentified pieces/parts - - -

    I am attempting to do some decluttering -

    all those decisions to make!!!

    Anyway - what do you do with those odd screws, nails, plastic parts that seem to belong to something?

    Personally, I have a full drawer(and then some) full of these mysteries and they will probably be buried with me...unsolved!

    ​If they are sewing room related, into my wooden Singer treadle drawer. If they are general house related, a decorative pot on my kitchen shelf.

    I tend to keep all that. I try to corral them to one place.

    I'm afraid to toss anything anymore! I threw away a 'white cord' I couldn't remember what it went to, and sure enough it was later, it belonged to my Bernina 153........can't be replaced! even thru the company. . . so sad.

    I save all those stupid screws, etc..........like nanacc, they will be buried with me, Or my 2 sons, will shake their heads after I'm gone and say "what was she thinking". lol, joke will be on them to figure out what to do with this stuff.

    You know, as soon as you get rid of that stuff, you will find out what it was for! Always happens.

    I keep 'em in a plastic container. Can't count the number of times I've needed something that a part is just right for!
