Vintage Shadowbox

Click to Enlarge Photo
I hope everyone has had a great weekend.

I bought a divided shadowbox type tray several months ago with the intention of some day altering it.  Well, I finally had the opportunity to get this project done.  I had so much fun looking through the vintage goodies I have collected at various Thrift/Antique stores throughout the years for just the right items that would fit inside each of the compartments.  Some of the vintage items were gifts from very sweet blogging friends.

Thanks for stopping by my nest and for leaving such wonderful comments.

Take Care - Robin

    A great arrangement, Robin. Especially like the word "Vintage" up top. Aren't these just such fun to make?

    It's very beautiful, Robin! Aren't those type trays fun to fill with little treasures? I have one waiting but haven't gotten around to gather some pieces. The only thing that went right into it after I had painted it, was a small wooden spool of thread.
    Have a lovely week :-)!
    xoxo,

    Robin, this really turned out lovely! Guess what I found! A pattern to make a 3D robin!! I found here on Etsy. The Goode Wife of Washington County shop. I thought of you when I bought it.

    Hi Robin,
    What heaps of fun. It is like each part of the box is its own room to be decorated. How enchanting.
