Dreams of bygone eras

The local thrift store was whispering to me

"Come dear, come...

I have a dream find for you..."

I hushed the still small voice the day before.

But this day I knew it was now or never.

So I obeyed and went.

Oh my oh my, what a magnificent find...

An antique typewriter!!

I'd wished for it for long

but never dared dream one would actually find its way to me!

What stories, letters, or documents have been typed on it...

I would love to know.

To have a sneaky peek in its past.

I dream of bygone eras.

I've always had a passion for the old and vintage.

It started with the stored treasures and stories of old by my grandma.

The Scrapbook of Frankie Pratt...
A vintage novel in pictures by Caroline Preston.

This book plus trailer video (below)
is how my adventure in arts and crafts took off.

Combined with my love for old stuff.

My new antique typewriter awakens in me a renewed passion

for the vintage arts and crafts.

It inspires me to go on along this winding road

with exciting new adventures ahead.

Now this altered matchbox / little shadow box

was made after seeing the inspiring Christmas tutorials by

Nancy at Sugar Lump Studios.

She's having a most wonderful

vintage Christmas event.

Every day a new tutorial, a week long.

A petit keepsake box
(recycled empty matchbox)

with an adorable shadow box inside...

I used some silver and sparkling.

And some grey and greige goodies love.

Linking my silver greige love to Grey Dey Thursdey :)
