i found these vintage swim medals at Second Saturdays for $1 each!
as soon as i saw them i knew exactly what i could use them for. i was thinking about my revamped military jacket. i was thinking about the millions of little drawers i have here stuffed full of cool little treasures. and i started to think about what i could replace those medals with before attaching them to the coat.
here are a few of the items i had in mind:
a tiny scope. see below:
gotta have a scope for outdoor adventures!
and a little tiny harmonica! can't leave home without one!
an old sterling silver and red glass watch fob. cuz it's cool.
and for the 4th one i wanted the arm and hand, because don't you always need an extra hand?! but in the end i went with the key. because keys can be helpful too.
here i am in all my glory with my cool "McGiver" medals. clearly, i am ready for an adventure of the epic sort.
bring it on!
paying bills,

LOVE this! So cool--I would never have thought to replace the medals with other things, but the things you chose are so charming and whimsical and perfect! Enjoy your adorable "new" jacket.
