Set of Trick or Treat Pumpkin Paper Boxes

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 22:42:07 -0400

$2.00
Trick or Treat! Smell my feet! You could fill these pumpkins with something good to eat!

The little pumpkin boxes are made of cardstock and stand at 3 inches tall with the bottom measuring 2.25 x 2.5 inches. Each would hold at least six mini candy bars. (I would have photographed them with some candy, but I don't have any!)

If you would prefer these boxes to have different faces or other text, I can customize either to fit your needs. Please just convo me and let me know! I also offer a discount for bulk orders of 20 boxes or more.

The $2.00 price here is for two boxes.

The Answer is Inside the Art Sometimes Magnet

$12.00
Sometimes the answer is inside the art.

When I was trying to decide if I should start Boxing Day, I turned to art. In one sitting, I made a collage (so not my normal medium) of magazine pictures. Through this piece, I was able to find the inner inspiration and strength I needed to start my little shop!

The art measures 4x6 inches and has been printed out on recycled paper. The piece has then been glued to roof flashing with acrylic gel medium. A friend of mine donated the center of her Milk Bones magnet frame to me and that is glued on the back.

This is the piece that started it for me. Let it help start something for you.

Recycled Little Blue Box

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 22:42:07 -0400

$6.00
A friend was going to toss this little box when she left her job... but of course I was near her desk collecting things going into the trash can.

I brought the little paper box home, gave it a new subtle paint job on the outside and a huge splash of color on the inside!

The box measures two inches by three inches and stands just an inch an a half tall. The inside is a green mottled paint job and the outside is a deep blue with silver accents.

Perfect to hold a bit of jewelry or tiny special objects. Instead of thinking outside the box, think about the box!

Lavender Beaded Rose Necklace

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 21:05:39 -0400

$28.00
Martha Stewart made me do it. She told me from the tv screen that I needed to make this necklace. So I did. And I'm selling it here. To you.

The rose is antique glass beads strung on wire with a recycled button in the middle. The matte silver chain is new and it fastens with a magnetic clasp. The chain measures 24 inches.

Martha made me make this necklace. If you think this description is even slightly funny, read the whole thing on my blog at http://shopboxingday.blogspot.com/2008/07/box-of-light-inside-my-brain.html.

Chain Fringe Recycled Necklace

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 01:48:33 -0400

$22.00
A friend of mine was going to pitch a knotted chain that had been sitting in the back of her jewelry box for years. I asked her if I could try to untangle it and she wished me luck with the knots.

Well, I couldn't untangle it, but by golly, I could take my cutters to it! After chopping up the chain, I placed it randomly on a piece of memory wire.

I think this is a pretty slick piece myself. It really came out of the blue as I'm not a rocker chick and I've never really tried to be. I'm more of a crunchy granola tiny bit skater punk kind of girl who hates fringe.

But I would wear this one out to the clubs if I weren't an old married lady!
