I bought these little match-box-looking boxes a long time ago
but never used them...they aren't "real" match boxes, so it
seemed like cheating and they went to the island of unmade
crafts {it's a BIG island!}
But I bumped into them again recently and their clean, plain,
whiteness inspired me...
to make these Simply Sweet little treats.
Not many frills...
Mostly made from left over scraps of ribbon and paper...
and shells of course...
Ok...I did have to try an idea I had to use the same "foofing" technique
that's used to make wreaths...but in a micro-tiny form. I just had to...
A moment of silliness that turned out pretty cute!
We'd be please to have you join in our
DREAMY CREAMY WHITE GIVE AWAY !!
And pop over to Mary's for MOSAIC MONDAY
they are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is this?! Every little box turned out so sweet!

ReplyDeleteJulia~
So cute! Nice details...great gifts!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute!!! I just love what you did with them. I've seen others on the different blogs and I think I'm going to have to try it :) Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am sooo going to steal your idea and use those as tiny favors beside each place setting next time I host a luncheon. One dreamy (albeit tiny) piece of chocolate inside.

Oh M,
ReplyDeleteI love your ability to keep things lovely and simple!!! Oh how I wish I could do that, but I always manage to "glitter everything up" and sometimes it's just too much. :( Speaking of glitter, your Mermaid tree is in the glitter hospital, I went to pack her up and her glitter was a little tarnished and how could I send something NOT PERFECT to someone like you??? I have just been super busy but now that my swaps are all out and the stepdaughter's graduation and visit from hubby's exwife are over I can breathe and glitter again! Thanks for being such a good sport!
And thanks for visiting me yesterday :)
You make me smile.
Sparkly Hugs,
Tobi and the Pixies!

ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you. Your blog is beautiful and inspiring. These are just adorable and each one is so unique. I have to admit the pink froo froo is my favorite with its adorable shell in the center of the flower.

very sweet!
ReplyDeleteI am wildly in love with those matchboxes, but alas, I have won several drawings of late and feel that the right thing to do is give someone else a chance. Now, that is MAJOR willpower on a magpie's part because they are very, very shiny objects that I am crushing on in the worst way, but fair is fair. Not fun, but fair. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday to you...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Very pretty! I love tiny things.
ReplyDeleteCute! What a great way to dress those little boxes up!!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Now I'm inspired. I have a kagillion little shells. Thanks for your sweet blog too. I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteI too like the simplicity of these tiny boxes and I love what you have done with them!
