Several years ago my grandparents both passed and my husband and I moved into their house. My family spent many days going through their things and cleaning the place up a bit. I don't remember seeing those old keys anywhere. Many of my grandparents belongings have remained in the house, some cleaned out others not touched. About a year ago, I came across two skeleton keys. I was so excited, I created a special little place to keep them in my craft area.
A couple of months ago my husband came across two more keys. Those went to the special place too.
And just a few days ago, while I was rummaging through my grandmothers old writing desk, I came across a whole bunch of them.
Now, there are still many many more to be found, but I am enjoying the search. These little keys are more magical than ever, secretly hiding out in their magical places just waiting to be found. It's like they have been brought back to life and boy do they have my imagination going full steam. I can't wait to go discover more magical places with Rory. I hope she loves the keys of the skeletons as much as I do! And that's my little story.
While rummaging through that old desk, I found these cool vintage items as well!

love those old keys, make awsome necklaces!!!
What a great discovery! It's got to be a cool feeling to be treasure hunting in your own house. Best of luck in uncovering more keys; I love the skeleton keys as well, but don't have any in my personal collection yet.
