~The Little Olde Witch Tea Shoppe~ box

I have really lucked out on finding old boxes this summer, which I am thrilled about! I am enjoying making them up, for me, they are something a little different to offer my buyers. This is another old cigar box that comes from Pa. For this box I designed and stitched up " The Little Olde Witch Tea Shoppe". I have a cute little witch dressed in a black cape and red skirt. Of course, she has on her hat and is holding her trusty broom. I did my stitching on osnaburg, coffee dyed it and then mounted it with an acid free adhesive spray to the lid. There is a small latch on the front. The measurements are 9"wide x 6"deep x 4' deep. It will be signed, dated and copyright 2011 on the bottom. A charming box display with your Witches!

Pumpkin and Bittersweet Needle Punch Box

This is a duplicate design from a needlepunch I did last year and sold. I couldn't believe it but I came across an identical box last week. I decided to use the same pattern. Plain and simple, just a ripe old pumpkin with 2 bittersweet branches and two mustard leaves punched on a brown background. It is finished off with a mustard color cord. I did the punching on weavers cloth with Valdani & dmc threads. It is attached to the box with an acid free adhesive spray and small tack nails for extra security. The old brown box has a slant on the inside which would be perfect to lay a wood laddle in perhaps for scooping up some putka pods or potpourri mix. For display purposes I used some tiny pinecones. The box measures 9"wide x 6" high and 4 " deep. It will be signed, dated and copyright 2011 on the bottom. A fun box to decorate up with some Fall goodies.

Jack O'Lantern Candle Shoppe stitchery box


I found this cool box at antique shop but I don't know what it was originally used for. Maybe a paint box, draftsman box or for tools. Anyways I liked it and I decided it would hold candles, so I created "Jack O' Lantern Candle Shoppe". I have, of course, a Jack O' Lantern along with some burning candles on each side. "1692 Salem" is stitched at the bottom. I did my stitching on osnaburg, coffee dyed it and then attached the stitchery to the box with an acid free adhesive spray. The box measures 10"wide x 6" deep and 1 1/2" high. There is a small latch on the front. It is a one of a kind that will be signed, dated and copyright 2011 on the bottom of the box.
A fun piece to use in your Halloween arrangements.
*SOLD* Thank You!

Black Crow Hollow stitchery

Yep, it is another "Black Crow Hollow" but a different design. I just like this title, it kind of says it all. I stitched this pretty big fellow perched in a bare tree with a pumpkin below on the ground. I used an antique ornate painted black frame. There is glass and hooks and eyes on the back for hanging. It measures 7" wide x 10" long. It is still small enough to set in a cupboard or up on a shelf if you choose not to hang it. I did my stitching on onsaburg & then it was dyed with coffee. The fabric is darker than the photo shows. It will come signed, dated and copyright 2011. A great piece for your Fall and Halloween decorating.
