Once Upon a Compact Tale


After 4 months of use,  I accidentally pushed a button and it opened to show this tiny little brush was under there.

 I HAD NO CLUE it was there. DUH!

That is where the DUH comes in... it is plainly WRITTEN and shows A PHOTO on the back of the box.
Good news is, I now have 3 of these little brushes. They clean phones, keyboards and remotes really well. Perfect for brushing between the number pads.


Guess what popped in MadSnapper SnapHappy Brain? 
DO A POST! 
First came a little brush selfie...


As I played I saw my watches and rings and thought WOW! 
I have an empty one, I could use it for a container.


It would make a great carry case for watch and rings, or pills, or change.... 

my brain was in gear.... 

Guess What? 

It was only good for  PHOTO FODDER because the silly thing will not close with the jewelry in it. DUH AGAIN

  5. This post could get you a commercial for the cosmetic company. I'm tempted to purchase a compact just for the brush!!

    Best,

  6. Love the idea of using the brush on my keyboard. Too bad the cover won't close on the container!

  7. I'm so glad you did all this experimentation for me. Now I don't have to do it! But I like the idea of the little brush to clean keyboards, etc.

  17. what a happy surprise. Not only did you get a handy dandy brush but blog material and lots of entertainment.
    Did that one brush come with all the colors like that or did you play with the picture and add the color?

  22. I always love how the MadSnapper turns things like this into posts. That is a neat little compact and it looks so pretty with your jewelry inside.

    I never use the brushes that come with compacts and such but save them and use them for all the things you have mentioned.

  23. I have to tell you I have a couple of those little brushes - I was going to throw them out - but now what good ideas you have given me!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Drat, I never use compacts, and wondered it they ALL come with those colorful and creatively used little brushes.

  26. I have some of my mother's old compact cases that I just like to look at for the picture on the front, but I've never seen one with a soft little brush inside - so useful for all those needs you mention! Love the last photo on the round red mat. You have a good eye for the unusual image, Sandra.

  27. That's too funny that you didn't know. So do you like that powder?
    Love your idea, the jewelry looks nice in there and it would make a great pill case.
