Christmas Gift Project

I know Christmas is over , but I couldn’t show you this before because it was a gift for my daughter , and she does occasionally read my blog.





It is a jewelry box made from an old silverware box . The inside was in great shape so I just left that alone.

I painted it white and distressed it , then added sheet music a doily some pictures of her parents , grandparents , a two of her great grandmothers and an old broken pocket watch that is set to the time she was born .

Yes the picture in the middle on the right is her Dad and I on our wedding day . My Mom and Dad above and his below.






I added a little more lace , a rosette and a tiny key charm .

This will hold a lot of jewelry , or I suppose she could always put silver in it .





Anyway I was pleased with how it turned out , and the best part was …





SHE LOVED IT !





I am going to try to make some more similar to this to sell . Do you think they will sell ?





I am going to link this with Faded Charm and White Wednesday.

  4. So glad she loved the box. It must be so special to her. Will you personalize the ones that you sell? I think people might like that option. I am a new follower visiting from Vicky from Mess For Less
