Hours spent: 1.5
Smashing new entry: Priceless
Before (how utterly un-inspiring)
After (lovely, ain't it?)
I LOVE it!! It was all inspired by my new, $2.48 doormat I got on sale at Target (Oh, and we smashed one creepy little scorpion in the process. ick.).
I've had this darling little box of goodies for as long as I can remember. I'm not sure if it was originally a box for cards or a box for soap but it contains both. It was in with my great-grandmother's little treasures that we inherited when she died. I believe it actually belonged to my grandmother first but she died at age 27 (breaking my great-grandmother's heart) and in time it passed to my mom and then to me (my mom is alive and well by the way, whew!). I open it up occasionally and play with the cards that have moving parts (the bride gliding down the staircase is my favorite). What I really want to do is find a way to display them. A shadow box perhaps, or something like that.
Aren't they so cute?!
I even have all the envelopes!
This one is my favorite.
But this one is really cute too!
I'm looking for a creative (and high-up-on-the-wall, childproof) way to display them. Any inspiration is appreciated!
Oh, and here's the soap! Fun!
