Family Secrets

I must digress a bit from my last post...before discovering Theresa's Birthday giveaway I had been drooling--I mean scrolling through Mamie Jane's and all her creativity. I love junker's and their inspirational projects and Jane had one that I just had to try. Since I was going thrifting with some girlfriends yesterday I had a list of things to look for. One was a little shadow box and there it was at Goodwill for $2.99 (measures 12 x 12)

Off came the little roses
so I could display some
family treasures
from the past.

Added some vintage paper for the background
and sanded and rubbed on a little stain.

Now relics tucked away out of site
are showcased for all to see.
Like this silver pocket knife and
leather coin purse with needlepoint insert.

A little matchbox size of STANLEY'S Metal Seals,
H of course and still got some in it,
and a tiny purse.

This rough leather one has orange stitching along the bottom (original or a patch job?--family secret) holds this little key...to what we will never know--another family secret. And a pair of glasses or should I say glass since one is missing. Probably fell in the suitcase or trunk that the key goes to.

Thanks to Jane the junker for
stimulating my
own creative juices.

And I'm joining up with
