Tiny Worlds Hidden in the Big One

Weights in Waiting is an ongoing treasure hunt created by The Paperweight Collection.

As we travel across the country, we hide handcrafted and collectible paperweights in unexpected places for others to discover. Each hidden paperweight becomes a small adventure—waiting for a curious explorer to find it and continue its story.

Part treasure hunt, part adventure, and part celebration of the paperweight art form, Weights in Waiting connects people through discovery.

How It Works

• We hide a paperweight during our travels.
• Clues are posted on social media.
• Followers use the clues to track down the hidden location.
• The first person to find the paperweight gets to keep it.

Clues and announcements are posted on Instagram:

Follow along, explore somewhere new, and perhaps you'll discover a Weight in Waiting of your own.

Found One?

If you discover a Weight in Waiting, we'd love to hear from you.

Or send us an email and tell us your story.

One of our favorite parts of the project is seeing where these paperweights travel and the connections they create along the way.
