Blog giveaway box Day 6

Hi everyone,

I have been away working on my personal Christmas stuff but the box is still getting things added to the pile. 

Something Ive noticed, is I just may have a slight napkin hording problem. Back when the covid restrictions started, we laughed that if we ran out of toilet paper, we could always use napkins. Umm starting to realize that its not far from the truth that we could go for awhile, literally go for awhile with out being short.

In the pictures I have an assortment of 26 napkins. I'm sure that could last you awhile in a pinch, lol.

Other than that an assortment of papers, bingo cards, feathers, and more ephemera. All is packaged up to go in the box. Not going to show the box today cuz its awkward and still far from full. Hoping to work on some lace and doilies for tomorrow's show and tell. Remember to comment where ever you see this post shared and more entries if you share and tell me where to find it.

Blog giveaway box - Day 5

Hi Everyone, 

Well today's post required 17 photos. I missed a few days so added lots today. Remember entries are by leaving comments 1 per post, but each day I share to many places and if you can find it you can post on it for more entries!

Someone suggested I use one of my cats to give you an idea of how full the box is. 

Ratatouie Stephan (aka Baby) luvs boxes and he was very willing to task up. As you can see he fits and I could easily fit a 2nd cat. The box is only have full so far. Ive added info at each picture so you can see what is new.

 

A friend of mine was at an auction and brought me a huge pile well actually a box, full of assorted receipts and ephemera. Most are from the 1950's but date back and forth from 1930 to 1968. I did keep lots but giving away in batches. Everything you see below is going in the box.

 

 

Card stock in a variety of colors and sizes, great for tags. A whole sandwich baggie full of file catalogue stickers, some packages not even open. Some vintage Christmas cards, random photos, 3 fabric bags, a note pad unopened, bag of puzzle pieces, baggie of seashells, art cards, tags in baggies, a leather boot keychain, 2 mini perfume bottles, die cut tickets.

 

 

Angel pack is stickers, diecuts, some foldup boxes. Not used. An extra pretty pink angel.  

 

 

Everything packaged up 

 

 

Everything in the box, still only half full. I'm scared to see what the postage will cost, yikes. 

 

 

Because you asked, here is my cat Ratatouie Stephan (aka baby) laying in the box. 

 

 

Lots of room to fill with goodness or maybe a cat or 2? 

 

 

I'm so darn cute, and I am very snuggley! I love shrimp, bacon and pepperoni slices.  

Thats it for today! Happy Posting!

Blog giveaway box Day 4

Hi Everyone! 

Well here it is, a little late but I am posting what I am calling Day 4 of my blog giveaway. While I will try to post everyday, there will be days when life gets in the way, but don't worry, regardless, this box will be filled way in advance of Dec 23. I'm actually starting to think that there will be box 2 and 3 and maybe 4? Its only Dec 2nd and this is only round 1 of a huge purge. Have I mentioned that we are moving cross country this spring? And have I mentioned that I used to own an antiques and collectibles store and when I closed the store I brought home part of it? Yeah...its gonna be a 12 step program...

Today I am putting this huge pile of vintage paper dolls into the box. I bought them at an estate sale and this is exactly how they looked, minus the box. Some of the dolls are decapitated and everything needs to be ironed out but, I do see a few heads rolling in the pile and with a little TLC someone could repair these for art sake, and they could be scanned to create some fun designs. Regardless, there are soooo many outfits that you could put heads of your own on, like bird heads, cat/dog heads, your kids, and other family members. Big big sigh! All things I was planning to do, but just didn't get there so I am passing the lot on to you, my blog giveaway winner, (you poor soul) LOL who ever you are!

The other item I am adding into the box, and ohhh trust me this is very hard to do, is fabric sample pieces. The large pieces are perfect size for making journal covers and with trims, beads, laces and more fabric they will be gorgeous covers. The smaller size (yet larger pile) is perfect to cut up for pockets or snippets etc. Lots of fun colours to play with.

Remember! Comments on Facebook and on this blog post as well as all of the other posts related to this giveaway gets you more entries into the box. And if you share anywhere (see the share buttons at the end of this blog) let me know with your link to verify and that gets you more entries. You can enter on each spot once per post but if you find the post in more than one spot ...more entries. As well, the more comments, the more I am interested in adding to the box! or boxes!

 Here in the picture is the pile of paper dolls stuff. I have turned over the pieces a few different ways for you to see that there are lots of these.

 

 

Here are the fabric samples large are approx 9 x 13
