My Own Game of 'I Spy'

You remember this game from when you were a kid ... "I spy with my little eye ...."  In this case, we are playing the game with the contents of the bottom of my underwear drawer.  No, this isn't a case of TMI (too much information), since there are no undies actually in the drawer at the moment ... they're in the clothes basket, fresh from the laundry, and  ready to be put away.

When I opened the drawer and saw this stuff, lit so perfectly by the lamp on my dresser, I knew that I had to share and make a game out of it.  Mind you, I did not rearrange these items at all to style them for this photo.  This is exactly as everything was found when I opened the drawer.

 
 
You ready to play?
 
The items to identify in this photo are:
Four belts (extra points for identifying the belt with greyhounds on it)
Two tile coasters from our Alaska cruise last summer
The charger for who-knows-what
A notecard, also from Alaska
A hair clip (my hair has been pixie short for a year now)
A broken string of pearls
A pile of Alaska tourist brochures
Three piles of plant tags made from mini blinds
A case for reading glasses
The reading glasses
Bits of string
A ballpoint pen
A bracelet box
An orphan furniture caster
Two store receipts
A single sock
A pad of Post-It notes
Panty hose
 
Now that I have confronted this problem, am I going to clean out the drawer and put this stuff where it belongs?  Nope.  I plan to do my best Scarlett O'Hara impression, bury it with clean underwear, and deal with it another day.
