This is a found object assemblage done within a cigar box. I painted the box and added old fashioned wallpaper illustration on the background and added a small glass knob on the top. The drawer is 10"X 10.5" including the knob and is ready to hang. Inside the drawer is a collection of vintage items that I imagined would be in a Grandma's kitchen drawer! The items included are: a French hard candy tin, a science fair button, a tailors chalk pencil, a tin of erasers, a wooden spool, a wooden clothes pin, a souvenir spoon, a bottle opener, two medal medallions, an old Dr. Pepper bottle cap, a set of old keys, a Coca Cola ad button, some S&H green stamps, a French box of matches, a red die, a IKE botton, a needle book, a spool of thread, a thimble, fasteners, a paper measuring tape, wooden nickle, an old coin purse, and a religious prayer medal! An instant collection of fun items!! This would look great in a vintage kitchen. It would be a great gift for any vintage collector! Also a fun gift for Grandma!
Illustration of a palm tree. The original was found in an old book and designed in the 1800s.
These will look fab next to all your Black Friday steals.
I’ve always been fascinated by arts, but I only discovered photography through Instagram at the age of 15. At the beginning I took simple photos with my mobile phone, but soon I realized I wanted to learn more. As my interest in photography grew, I started to search and try new techniques, leading me to Photoshop.
A little bit of nature makes a statement in this 14"x 11"x 2 vintage box. The box is signed, dated and ready to hang. The box has faded and chippy blue paint on top. This box is Shabby Chic and ready for you. The charming old glass bottle contains mini shells a silver chain, sea gull feather and a darling mini silver treasure chest. In the smaller boxes are scallop shells gathered on Martha's Vineyard beaches. Then in the larger compartments are shells I gathered on a beach in South Carolina. One white gull feather mixed with the shells. All of this has been placed on dictionary pages that relate in some way to the creatures in the ocean or about shipping. This is an interesting read of vintage dictionary pages in each compartment that has layers of gel to protect the paper. A large sea shell acts as a knob atop the box. Wonderful for a bedroom or any room in the house. A perfect item for your beach house. Thank you for shopping.
