This first one is a vintage wood box. Hand painted cottage cream with added vintage post card to the lid and sealed with Triple Thick to make it look like it is right in the wood.
You hear me talk about Triple Thick in many of my projects. You can find this glaze at most art and craft shops. Takes some practise to use, but the results are wonderful. One coat is usually all that is needed.
This next one is larger and hand painted light pale pink with two french graphics on the lid and trailing roses throughout.
Thanks to The Graphics Fairy for these amazing designs. These two boxes will be available in my etsy shoppe Wednesday night the 12th. Just in time for Thursday Marketplace from Shabby Cottage Shops and my etsy boutique.
See you soon.
Happy Creating, Celestina Marie

Dearest Celestina Marie,
That are beautiful vintage wooden boxes! You did this very well and the tip with the Triple Thick is great.
You also are a great Lady for always giving credit to those that needed credit, like The Graphics Fairy, mentioned here.
Hugs to you and wishing you a lovely part of September.

Celeste, that is gorgeous, It looks so real,like a real post card!! Great job! Oh, if you get a chance the next time you use that triple thick could you get a shot of the bottle or can or what ever it is?

Dear Celestina Marie,
Such sweet boxes with the juxtaposition of the pretty delicate roses with the French postcards.
Thanks for sharing about Triple Thick, have not seen this before.
Happy week

I have never heard of Triple thick. I'll have to check this out. Your project is adorable!
Your boxes are so pretty Celeste! If you've mentioned Triple thick, I don't remember. I'll have to check it out.
Hi Celestina Marie!
This again is so pretty! I love the way you paint those gorgeous roses. What a nice little box that has become! Happy crafting!
Blessings and hugs,
Ingeborg
Celeste, just beautiful but then I expect nothing less from you. You have a great imagination and your paintings are so pretty. I love Triple Thick. I use to buy it in the jar but have found it in a squeeze bottle which is so much more useful. This way it doesn't become contaminated with brushes, just squirt some on my palette. Difficult to work with but worth it.

Celestina, these would be a wonderful place to store treasures. They are beautiful! xo C. (HHL)
How beautiful! And I know just what I'd keep in one of those... :)
Very Pretty!! Had never heard of Triple Thick, will have to check that out it seems to work beautifully from the work you've shown here.
Oh my goodness, pretty Celestina..this hand made box is gorgeous, so sweet and feminine..like you! I've seen things like this in movies where the heroin keeps her love letters. I have hubby's love letters from when I lived in the USA and he courted me from sooo far away! Now, young people are not romantic that way, why with Internet and ll. Anyway, he did good though, as HERE I AM, lol!!
Have a great rest of the week.

As gorgeous as ever, Celestina. I think pretty is the word that describes your work best...so feminine and light. I love it.
Always a pleasure stopping by to visit with you, my friend.
Much love,
Marcia
I love boxes of all shapes and sizes! And your art is the perfect touch to these. You make everything prettier! Hugs!
Those are so pretty, Celestina. I love the Postcard one. I have been wanting something just like this to put my tags in. I have always loved decorative boxes to store my treasures in. These are very nice.
