SHARING A FEW THINGS...

 Hello everyone,

Have a few things to share today..been doing lot of boxes and also found something rather exciting and plan to use them..

A very old, real chemist docket for developing films dated 22/2/1954..

This is an old letter. dated 29/10 1952 from my late husband's Aunty Hilde and uncle Dicki 

to him and his brother..

My husband's family lived in Burma..Mother born and raised, father in Royal Airforce.

Next up is these telegrams sent to my mother and father the day I was born..

so they can go in the vintage folder!!!!

These are photographs I found inside an old black photo book..

My family..and a couple of my FIL in an envelope.

An old stamp and a newspaper clipping..

These are the photo papers which I'm now using inside a junk journal

So black and so thick, feels like the old blotting paper..

Then I started making things, these old pages I added washi stickers onto them

for journal books..

then started making ephemeras vintage style with discs I had made..

layered them up,then popped a staple through to hold together..

and a few ID tags for fun..

next up a bourbon box that needed attention...

my son drinks these in the evening and never break the boxes down,

so of course I had a thought.

you need to line these boxes as they are thin cardboard, so did that then wrapped it 

with maskng tape..

covered with telephone book pages...

cut a fancy trim for inside with ye old fancy edge Fiskars punch.

then added paper to the box???

fancy edge inside...

fussy cut the rose and bid from same DP 

glued them on..

before and after..

some fancy metal corners..

my collection of vintage lace..

so pretty..

popped on a label and there you go..

Again, I'm sorry for another War and Peace post but it was all so interesting to me..

I'm loving my decorated shelves with all these boxes which I will share soon,

 it all looks so pretty.

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx
