So, the question most people have is, should I purchase moving boxes or find some slightly-used from grocery stores or friends who've just recently moved.<br /><a href="http://www.boxesonwheels.com/box-recycling/" rel="nofollow">Corrugated Cardboard Boxes</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963891685712913510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-24418287242848189152013-05-20T07:33:58.821-04:002013-05-20T07:33:58.821-04:00You are so good and antiquing things Donna!

My family laughed at me last Thanksgiving when one of my sisters-in-law brough me a big bag of broken jewelry to use in craft projects....they called this bag "Crack for Catherine"!! Ha ha, I guess they're right! Love the way you put this box together and made it oh-so-pretty!

It holds so many treasures in its powerful hands. I love the touch of the dry brushed linen and then the little sweet paper items you tucked inside surrounded by tissue paper, especially having the vintage photo in the mix. The twine just pulls it all together with a final flair. People must be flocking to your booth all the time to see what new delights you have stocked the store with. You are so creative!Liz @ Quirky Vistashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619479131117781394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-44458642487350624112013-05-14T07:51:02.982-04:002013-05-14T07:51:02.982-04:00Who wouldn't love a craft box like the ones yo...Who wouldn't love a craft box like the ones you've made and I loved seeing how you put them together.
