matchbox swap

the little Spring to Summer matchboxes

are beginning to arrive

at all the swappers' homes-

so I can now reveal all !

***

The one above was made by

Jo at Fiddlesnips.

I love the idea of discovering these tiny seed packages
in the back of a drawer in the potting shed.

I love the colours Jo used

& the earthiness of it

***

Pat from Artfully Ooglebloops

covered her matchboxes in pretty dainty handmade paper

and added quotes-

so pretty

***

Kimmie at Art in Red Wagons

included one of her fabulous inchies

I love the decoration

with the tiny gold charm & wonderful leaves

***

Jan from Jan's Arty Journey

sent these delightful boxes

with the adorable bird sitting in her nest hidden inside.

It's cheerful & fun

***

Melissa at Little Messy Miss

created these wonderful boxes

with natural adornment

& filled with treasure-

sand from Monument Valley USA

and Gourd seeds from an Amish Birdhouse

***

Hope at Pixie's Ponderings

made these dear little seaside scenes

stamped shells

& vintage images

so lovely & nostalgic

***

Thank you to all the swappers

I enjoyed doing the swap and

will definitely organise another !

It was fun seeing the different interpretations

of the theme

I know what I want to do next

& I'll need twelve players

( more about this in the autumn )

My matchbox for this swap is in my previous post !
