best picks

Vintage toothpicks, for real.  Little pieces of machine carved wood.
Reminds me of the game Pick up Sticks that we loved as children.
 Only this would be a game for the fairies.

See Little Red House for more Monday Mosaics!

  2. Pick-up sticks--that's what I thought they were. I was never really good at that game; however, I was the long-standing jack's champion at West End Elementary!!

    Best,

  8. Dotsie,

    Neat mosaic! I thought they were pick up sticks at first. I loved that game and I loved jacks and hopscotch too.

  16. Very pretty! At first I thought hey were colored pencils :) I loved playing "pick up sticks" as a child and also bought a set for my children. I bet they would be hard to find these days.

    You cleaver lady! Who would have thought of toothpicks as art? What an uplifting inspiration! Thanks for the cheery colors on this rainy day on the prairie!
