I really like to mix blues, pinks, taupes, and chocolate colors together they remind me of the ocean, sand, and a little girl's sweet pink dress. The combination of colors give me the romantic cottage look, with a little French inspiration. What are in the boxes you ask?
Notecards made of lucious flocked wallpaper.
I had so many wonderful comments on my friend Karen's safety pin basket, that I wanted to show you another picture. If you look closely you might be able to tell that she used two different color blue beeads in the basket. In person, this basket is stunning.

Ele these boxes are so beautiful and elegant. Karen's basket really is pretty, love the color.
Your boxes are exquisite! I love the pinks, blues and browns that you used, and love the crepe ruffles around the boxes. They look like something very special is stored inside. Hey, when are you going to add more of your lavender sachets to your boutique? I especially love "Babette" and "Saje" with the yo-yos.
You are soooo talented, sweetpea!
Smoochies,

Hi Ele, these boxes are just beautiful!
What beautiful boxes and those notecards are to die for!!! If I lived closer to you and could visit your sweet boutique in your sweet old church those are the first things I'd be buying up...a little box to put my tatting in and a notecard or two or three or four...LOL to send a tatted bookmark off to friends. You are very talented.
OH ELE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those boxes are just stunning! You make the most beautiful things, I tell ya! Can I come over and take lessons from you??
Karen's basket is truly beautiful. So much work!

Gorgeous, love the colours you use:) Rachaelxo
your boxes look lovely Ele, one of my favorite things is to cover boxes...i think it is my ocd streak, love that precision straight line cutting and the 90 degree angles...i like the "torn" paper thing a lot of girls do, but i just have such a hard time doing that...
I love how you used the crepe paper!
Karla

Hello Ele,
Your boxes are just beautiful! I really like them and how they turned out. I also love your safety pin basket. I collect them, they are so fun. Thanks for sharing your creations Pinkie Denise
hi ele ~ wow, those boxes are just divine! xo heidi
Ele,
Both the boxes and the basket are wonderful. Your friend did a great job on the basket. Your note cards look luscious!
I love your comment about still loving t play with paper, scissors, and glue. One of my favorite artists is Tracey Porter. She too loves paper, scissors, and glue. At one point she gave up her education to pursue a career in art. Her brother thought she was crazy and snapped at her, "Go ahead, Tracey, go play with your paper, scissors, and glue and see where they get you!" They got her her own very successful company!
Those flocked papers make me drool!
And the way you put them together is so dreamy!
Beautiful boxes....
adore the ruffle..
Pin basket is also wonderful..
Louise
Everything is a little yummier covered in vintage wallpaper... in my opinion!!!! They came out beautiful!!!!!
