I finished up this shadow box last week and finally took some photos. I used an old tin type photo and words from an old book. Inside are oodles of vintage touches…silver skeleton key, fractured doll, antique laces, old french ephemera, ivory silk millinery flower, glass vile with beads.
I added two large spools to the bottom of the box and large rhinestone buttons to the insides.
A large tarnished silver spoon adorns the top to appear as if there is a handle there. I am really starting to love distressed white more and more (furniture, home decor, art) and find it really brings something special into a home.
Special thanks to Marilyn for the box to alter! ;)
It all looks so gorgeous in the shadow box…..and I love the finishing touches you’ve made to the box.
You are so inspiring!
So gorgeous!! The tin type and all of the yummy details – I love your composition and the sweet spoon on top. xxoo Heidi
What a lovely creation and all those extra elements are perfect.

Love it Nancy and love the old world pieces with the white, looks so good xxx
I love this! Love the spoon on the top and those lace pieces are so beautiful! Every little detail is amazing! Have a great evening!
Wow Nancy!! This is just as lovely as your fall journal! Love the stark white with the cream and white elements on the interior of your box. So elegant. I just love your style. The lace pieces are so lovely. I also love the flower with the delicate little pearl accents. Then mixing the metal spoon and the key with the white…just beautiful! <3 Candy
That is just so precious! The spoon on top, well lets just say it rocked my socks!
