Wish List Wednesday - Vintage Tin & Metal

Finally...a new "Wish List"! I always find that i am drawn to vintage tin / metal boxes, trays, signs, etc. Maybe it is the faded paint and rust that i love so much about each piece...it gives them a wonderful history. In fact in making this list i bought a metal sign and cabinet from bellalulu! I hope you enjoy!

Custom Shadow Boxes that I Created

OK...now that the holidays are over, maybe now i can get back to posting on a regular basis. As i said before, i was really busy with custom shadow box orders (16 boxes total) this holiday season, so i wanted to share what i made! Here are 8 custom boxes that i did for a gal. The picture inside is of her mother and father, and she gave them to her brothers and sisters for Christmas. I choose to do all 8 boxes with different backgrounds, and i love the way each one turned out. Which one is your favorite?
