***
Hope at Pixie's Ponderings
(a vintage photo of best friends enjoying a summer day, a beautiful seashell and a fun beachy matchbox)

Jan from Jan's Arty ATC Journey

I loved looking at all the different ones everyone came up with!!!
How wonderful! This reminds me that I'd forgotten to tell you about these wonderful matchboxes that I bought when I was in New Mexico several months ago. Each one was covered with a tiny copy of a first edition of a classic novel. I bought a William Faulkner, a Hemingway, a Carson McCullers, etc. I just loved them --
Oh how fabulous!!! I want to do one of these swaps now!!!
You have displayed them beautifully Kimmie. It was fun & I love them all.
The matchboxes are beautiful!
each matchbox was so cleverly constructed and they reminded me of the little treasures I saved as a young girl. funny how we lose the value for small things. well, not so funny. these beautiful trinkets reminded me again that beauty and friendship are in the simple things.
Lovely!The matchboxes are beautiful!

That is a lovely mail !
