Recently, I had the pleasure of participating in a
"Petite Inspiration Box Swap: Flea Market Edition" hosted by none other than Heather at Speckled Egg.
This wasn't my first and it won't be my last as i just adore these altered matchboxes and all the lovelies inside.
The first box to arrive was from Lorraine at Paperbird....
It was covered with vintage inspired paper and embellished with a foil bird and sweet millinery flowers....
...inside, were all of these gorgeous tresors....
lots of paper lovelies and millinery flowers...
...oodles of lace, ribbon, flowers and trims.
Merci Lorraine for your heartfelt and lovely assemblage for me.
I will treasure it.
Next to arrive was one from Kristen at Sweet Dreams Art Studio....
....covered in a creamy textured paper and a gorgeous glittered flower with a french tag...
...it was filled with yummy bits of lace and flowers....
...and paper bitties, tags, buttons and trims.
Merci Kristen for the love that went into creating such a sweet and beautiful assemblage for me.
I adore it!

Here are the boxes i created for them.....
...covered with an actual vintage bill head from 1921...
...and here's a peek at what was inside....
I hope they love their petite boxes of inspiration as much as i love mine!
A big Merci to Heather for hosting yet another wonderful swap!
Avec Amour,
