I know that I
inherited my love of all things vintage from my mother. I grew up with antiques and sewing and creativity. I took it for granted when I was younger, but after moving into this old house, it really took hold of me. This year for Mother's Day I gathered some fun stuff and filled a box with goodies. If the mail is slow Mom may read about her gift before she gets to open it!
I was born in England. Dad was in the Air Force, stationed in England. The Queen's coronation was the year before I was born so when I saw this little dish at Angel's I knew it had to go in the box. The tag has a vintage broach, also from Angel's, with Mother printed on the Mother of Pearl. The lace on the tag came from the last box Mom sent me!
I saw this little 1/2 doll and knew she would be a great pincushion. I made a skirt for her and attached it to cover the pincushion. Some baker's twine. old buttons, tags shaped like cats, a sweet old handkerchief, some vintage birthday candle holders and some dried flowers from my daughter's wedding filled up the box.
I also bought an old school music book from the 40's and used the pages from "Would You Like to Swing on a Star?" to decoupage the box. I hope Mom has as much fun with her box as I did!!
Seven tried her best to fit in the box - just not enough room!!! Once again thank you to
Cheri and

Did the kitty get mailed??!
that's a lovely box of goodies for your mom. perhaps the cat wanted to be mailed to her as well? mine are forever jumping in and out of boxes.
