One Upon A Cigar Box #2
I have finished my cigar boxes. I first posted about them on my blog on January 20th. You can see my original post here: My Sweetheart Ball Gown and Some Cigar Boxes.
Last week I finished the first one and you can see it here: Once Upon A Cigar Box.
I painted the first one and I decided to mod podge this one with some pretty paper I had with vintage images on it.
So I took off the hardware and covered the box.
I added a pretty piece of paper on the inside top of the lid. I also added a pretty piece of soft felt to the bottom. Then I added a small decorative mirror in the top of the lid.
I put the hardware back on and it was time to have fun. I added lace, flowers, ribbons and a rhinestone button.
And here is my box...
I plan to use my new box to keep my hankies in so I don't have to dig for them anymore. Yes, I carry a hankie ALWAYS and it must be a pretty one. The photo below shows my box open with two of my hankies.
I think my box will look beautiful with my Ladylike Vignette. And I am so excited I finally found some beautiful pink vintage ladies gloves to add to my vignette.
Do you remember my Ladylike Vignette Post...
I have one thing left from my Christmas decorations to put away. My beautiful Shabby Chic Baubles. They are so lovely I just hate to put them away...

I am working on a special post which will include 2 free vintage Valentine's Day cards. I will take them apart and post them so that you can print, cut them out, assemble them and actually use them as cards to give to your Valentine's Day Sweeties....
