Kimmie got us all excited about The International Championship League of Matchbox Stuffers and tucked a sweet matchbox in with the tea cup she recently sent me for a tea cup swap we were in
Pat McNally had a giveaway and I was the lucky winner of her wonderful treasure stuffed matchbox
*all photos can be double clicked for a closeup*
it was waiting for me upon my return from Blacksburg …
her packaging was especially thoughtful and fun … Loved the unveiling (pun intended) … the jewelry box helped keep the matchbox from being crushed in the mail… good thinking Pat!
decorated so sweetly… just look at all the wonderful booty she tucked inside
thanks so very much Pat … I am one very lucky stuffed matchbox collector
*footnote: the matchbox measures
1-7/16 x 2-1/8 x 1/2 inch*
I thought of you on my ride home on Interstate 81 … near mile marker 253.6 (heading north near the Rt 721 overpass) I spied two Osage Orange trees … the glowing green fruit really shows up on the ground ready for gathering

Oh my! What a beautiful item to recieve! As soon as I get my hands on a matchbox, I’m going to try and decorate one. It’s a lovely item with lots of wonderful goodies!

OMG, Patty! This had to be stuffed to within an inch of it’s little life!!! Soooo many little goodies and trinkets. I can see some of them popping up in your artwork sometime soon. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear that you’re home. And better yet, your return means that your son is doing well. YAY! Hugs, Terri xoxo

What a gorgeous gift – such a beautiful teacup too. Yes the unveiling would have drummed up the anticipation of the reveal. Thanks for stopping by my blog and I will look out for you to have that cafe stop!

Patty,
Not sure my other message made it. It’s not showing up. Glad to know your son is better. I love the little matchbox and the wrapping.
I may just have to find time to make a few of those.

Indeed a fun treasure trove. There are some memory joggers amongst the bits Pat tucked into that little box. I’m glad you won….
Loved the unveil pun. It was pretty punny.
