What is the chances of having something in my stash that would work perfectly for a Retro challenge and BE retro? I had wanted to alter this recipe box and now i have the perfect reason to complete my project..which actually helps me get things done. Yay!
I found this recipe box at a charity shop and i love tin recipe containers, because that is what i first had when i got married, mine was blue/yellow and white, but i liked these colors because it will match the kitchen at the lake.
So i pulled out an older stamp called "Just for You" Amelia from The Greeting Farm with a "cooking" theme and made altered this recipe box.
I also had some buttons that are reproductions of vintage buttons, added some baker's twine and now i have a "new" retro recipe box. I attached the framed image by just putting foam dots on the lid and not the bottom of the box.

Great job on your box!! Perfect image and I love the buttons!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, this is stupendous! Love the old recipe box and the old buttons! Amelia is so sweet with her little muffin tin!
ReplyDeleteI would have loved such a cute recipe box when I was young and actually cooked, lol! Love the fun papers & colors, that darling image, your die cuts, coloring, buttons & twine! Just adorable, Bonnie! :^)

OK, now this is more like it. What a cute, cute idea. I can just see it in the kitchen at the lake house. It is charming, and I very much like the colors as well as the image.
