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.

  7. I’m just rereading some of your past posts so that I can drool a little bit Kim! I am thrilled about the paper dolls as I used to play with paper dolls all the time when I was a kid! I might even send some of these to a childhood friend who I used to play paper dolls with! And all the fabric samples oh my gosh I am drooling even more! One of my endeavours has been slow stitching 🥰
