Adorable Zephyr antique train themed tin/lunch box with handles. Would make a wonderful addition to that farmhouse/ shabby chic kitchen tin collection. I have not seen one quite like this one, with the marking on the bottom. Very collectible and decorative. Measures 8.5" x 5.75" x 3.5" Awesome find !!

Artist Allison May Kiphuth captures scenes inspired by her surroundings in Maine and along the New Hampshire seacoast by squeezing them into small wooden boxes scarcely a few inches wide. Her mixed media dioramas are constructed from layered ink and watercolor illustrations assembled with pins and string inside antique boxes. The content of each artwork varies from piece to piece from underwater scenes of sea life to magical tiny worlds populated by forest creatures. More

I couldn't resist ... this time with patina and rust...

Gjenbruk eller det å resirkulere er noe jeg liker godt. Denne gangen er det en blikkboks som får "nytt liv". Blomstene og blondene er fra Wild Orchid Crafts - Open Roses 10mm, 20mm. Limte først på et mønsterark fra Pion Design - Children med motivet ned mot boksen. Limte med Multi Medium Matte. La det tørke. Glue some paper to the box with Multi Medium Matte. Let it dry. Sprayet vann på mønsterarket tok forsiktig vekk det øverste laget med papir. Spray some water on the paper and pull the paper gentle of. Lim på en gammel bokside med Multi Medium Matte. La det tørke. Glue some old book paper on the box with MultiMedium Matte. Let it dry. Distresset boksen med Adirondack Alcohol Ink - Mixatives Copper, Ginger and Snow Cap. Distress the box with Adirondack Alcohol Ink - Mixatives Copper, Ginger and Snow Cap. Her ser du motivet kommer litt svakt frem. Lim gammel bokside inni boksen. Glue some old book paper inside the box. Svertet blomstene med Distress Ink pad- Walnut Stain. Distress the flowers with Distress Ink pad - Walnut Stain. Ha en flott dag/wish you a great day!

Before the full health implications of smoking became generally accepted, smoking had been promoted as being glamorous, manly, and even making you more attractive to the opposite sex. These Dutch posters dating from as early as 1895 to 1987 are consigned to history but the graphic design and illustration remain interesting even if they are now historical documents.

Here we are again...in the *Industrial* Guest room! I'm slowly getting each little corner of the room completed with a wealth of treasured *things*! Awhile back I found these Tim Holtz boxes (yeah, I love his stuff) at Michael's and knew they would be perfectly perfect to hold all the *littles* that I've gathered over the years. It's a lot to look at....but, confined all in one place, it works. I found this old rusty light fixture and never knew what to do with it....after I got the boxes nailed to the wall, it looked unfinished...so, I rummaged around and there it was waiting for me. PERFECT! Then added the chain to give the illusion that the boxes are hanging. Thanks for stopping by.... Have a happy weekend..... xoso Sandy
