Vintage Supply Swap

The most recent swap I did was hosted by Elizabeth of Creative Breathing.  The swap was to create a Vintage Swap Supply Box using a box no bigger than a shoe box. Which is what I used ~ a shoe box that I luckily must have saved some months ago thinking it would come in handy. 

My partner was Michele of Nook and Cranny.  Michele is a very talented and creative crafty person, and I was hoping to give her a pretty vintage look box with some useful crafting supplies.  I started out by covering the box in some scrapbook paper I had.  A nice faded blue and cream polka dot for the bottom and a coordinating blue and cream paper for the lid.

I found a paper doll image on Pinterest, printed it out on cardstock, and glued that to the lid. 

I made it a little more personal by using a small doily {received in another swap} and a Scrabble letter “M”.

I filled it with a bunch of goodies!  Some I bought and some I already had.  I hope I gave Michele a good assortment to make some new projects!

Here is the box I got from Michele.

Lots of goodies! 

Trims, lots of crafting supplies, buttons, a wonderful old book of Grimms Fairy Tales.

Game pieces, old cards, new cards with beautiful pictures taken in Vermont.

A really fun item that Michele included was this newspaper from 1929.  I think this will be an interesting read.

I must have sat for almost an hour going through everything!  I felt like a kid at Christmas.  Thank you so much, Michele! I love it all!
