The short story of a handmade, vintage wallpaper-covered box and the upcycled vintage Christmas
ornament inside it.
In
photos.
With minimal words.
With minimal words.
Just
because.
Thrifted.
Hoarded.
Upcycled.
I’d
like to interrupt the silence here by mentioning that I continue to be
hot-glue-gun-impaired and I get around this by using Aleene’s Glass & Bead
adhesive (it comes in a tube!) which doesn’t smell all that great but works
like a charm when you need something shiny & slick to stick to something
else that’s shiny & slick.
Carry
on.
Designed.
Prepared.
Constructed.
Packed.
Gifted.
Are you ready? It’s almost here.
