Collected bits! (SLS18)

This is my weekend of night shifts so today's blip is a collection of bits and pieces I keep an eye on, just in case they might make a still life one day ... 

Most of the things are shades of brown so I have gone for monochrome,  colour version in the extra. 

Today is my birthday and I was quite surprised to receive a piece of artwork from Gill as a present.   Sarah Ashby runs the local art shop and has some of her work in the window, I was trying to sort out from Gill's comments which piece she might like for her birthday next week, not realising, she had the same idea ....   It is a good job I have a backup in mind :-)
