Collectors Box

Morning to everyone and Happy Sunday.

 

The sun is sort of out here in West Sussex.

Lots of cloud about but better than yesterday.

That's the weather report out of the way!!

 

We had a holiday 2 summers back, in Suffolk and Norfolk.

We found this amazing shop that sold everything, from a plastic spoon

to wooden items, like this display box.

I bought loads of smaller items too, that I have already sold.

 

For some reason, the 2 display boxes have sat on a shelf untouched!

 

Then, last week I had a light bulb moment and

knew what I wanted to do with at least one of them!

And this is what that was!!

 

 

An emulsion paint, crackle job first on the outside.

Add a bit of Grunge Paste onto it (bottom right) and a couple

of Paper Clay flourishes.

A Sue Wilson flower die, 2 Marianne Creatables leaves

and a Memory Box Butterfly added.   

A touch of Distress Inks and Treasure Brass Gilding Wax.......Job done!!

Well the outside was done!!Lol!!

 

The inside was more difficult, choosing papers and items.

I wanted to leave space for whoever has it, to put into it what they want to.

 

 

I still have the other one to do but I will wait until I see what

comments I get from this one.

 

I am doing a School Summer Fair next Saturday.

 It's in the village where we used to live and is the school

my Grandchildren go to.

 

It's the first time they have had stalls from people outside of the school.

I just hope they have a nice day for the event.

 

Thanks for visiting my little corner in Sussex.

A big thank you for the lovely comments you leave me.

 

Blogland is such a wonderful place to be a part of and I love visiting your blogs.

To be able to leave messages for you too.

 

It's wonderful to read, the supportive messages on our friends blogs,

that are perhaps going through difficult times.

It's also lovely, to be able to add a little note of support to them.

Don't you think?!!

 

Big hugs,

Carolxxxx
