Worldwide Sidewalk Joy

Seeds And Such...
 Take one, Leave one...Seeds and Trinkets

This trinket box on Trenton Avenue in Point Pleasant, NJ is a miniature exchange station,
similar to the little "free libraries" you see.
Community driven, where individuals exchange small items like pins, stickers, seeds,
postcards, book markers, shells, sea glass, small paintings and so much more.
Let your imagination be your guide!


I found this on Instagram, I also received a few messages from friends...
"have you seen this"?


Mackenzie is the keeper of the box.




- I really loved the way it was decorated -

 I left 3 of my decorated shells in exchange for 

these 2 items...orange sunflower seeds and a small bottle of lavender driftwood scented oil.
This is a thing, you know...if you are curious about the whole thing,
information about this trinket exchange can be found at

Is there a blog about this you ask, well yes, yes there is.
Everything you need to know can be found here.

What a lovely community idea. Must be fun to go see what's there and also choosing a few things to share.

What an absolutely charming idea! It’s been a long time since I was last in Point Pleasant. My late husband was from New Jersey so we used to go every year. I really miss it.

What a lovely idea! I have not heard of any here but there are very few sidewalks in the country.

I love it. The box looks like a tiny little vintage store with so many lovely treasures hidden inside. It's even arranged attractively. This is a wonderful idea. I would love to have something like this around here.
