I love wombling. That verb makes no sense unless you know what a womble is, huh? They were - are - pointy nosed creatures created by Elisabeth Beresford into a children's book, which became a BBC children's show. They lived in burrows, where they aim to help the environment by collecting and recycling rubbish in creative ways. They also eat the stuff that humans leave behind or look over, like mushrooms and acorn juice and fir cone souffle.
To womble, in my family vernacular, is to find and gather things that might be useful - the treasures other people discard or look over. @steematt is particularly excellent at this, and makes a profit from it - clever womble. @walkerland and @goldenoakfarms are also good at finding treasures - at yard sales, or the beauty of cut flowers in a garden. Treasures both. @nateonsteemit is a treasure hunter too - check his excitement when he finds a good pile of leaves.
If you caught my excitement over my orange teapot, you will get it. Little found treasures can make the heart sing.
This week I had another bargain find. I really wanted a proper worm farm and was considering making one, but thought I would wait for the gods and goddesses of found treasures to bring me one. And then lo! One appeared on the online market place I was searching on. 15 bucks for a worm farm that normally costs 90. I couldn't make it for that cheap, or something so neat! What a #treasurefind! And then the coffee machine that just magically appeared via my parents. Thanks folks! We love it - so generous of you, and how on earth did you know that's what we wanted?
Treasure finds don't even have to be material. They can take the form of knowledge, personal revelations, gifts, meetings and all sorts of joyful little moments where a treasure is revealed.
So yep, I'm starting a new hashtag called #treasurefinds on steem, because I also get a kick out of OTHER people's finds.
Tell me a story about your treasure and post your link below. I'll upvote your link with all I have, and might even offer a steem reward. Yep, I know I offered 50 in the title, but I'm not going to give away that much if I get one entry. That's just silly. I'm going to wait til I get at least 20 entries, even if it takes til Christmas. I'll save them all, and the one that brings my heart the most joy will get a steemy Christmas present!
I'll check out the tag every week too, but feel free to tag me so I'm alerted to your treasure! And if you can, resteem this post or refer to the idea in your post - let's get joy from each other's #treasurefinds.
