Boxes, Drawers, and Clearing Out More Stuff

I'm still painting, and scripting boxes.



This one has hints of script inside,




and script on top.




I also worked on a lighter version of the drawer from my last post.




As you can see, instead of leaving the small knob, I replaced it with one of my numbered tacks.




More inside.




Oh yes, I had another impromptu garage sale these past few days. I'm VERY serious about organizing, and narrowing focus on what I acquire. I got rid of a bunch of "stuff". It's a joy to see someone happily loading up something I NEVER want to see again.  There's a lot to be said for living on a main street, as well.  I didn't advertise at all.

    Some days I just want to have a huge house sale, forget about the garage. Too much stuff and it is hard to stay focused. However, I am still focused on that fabulous drawer you did. The script is amazing. The box is beautiful too.

    I adore your scripted boxes with the little numbers. You really are purging and sharing with others. I would probably be loading up lots of your treasures if I lived close by. Happy Hearts are Creative Hearts...

    Your boxes are so very lovely, Rosemary. I'm glad your garage sale worked out! We're waiting for the annual neighborhood one... we've been hoarding a load just for this sale.

    I am in love with these boxes. I wish I could buy one but with the move I really am trying not to buy things right now. Your talent sure makes it tough. Glad you had another garage sale that was a success!

    I wish I could stop by your yard sale! I need to do the same thing and have a yard sale to get rid of "stuff".
    I love your scripted boxes. You always do such amazing things to your treasures.
