Midsummer Night's Dream Matchbox swap!

Vintage Dragonfly did it again and hosted a really fun and different theme for matchbox swapping.  Here is the one I made for my partner, and then the one I received from Lou who is a mixed media artist!  We were supposed to decorate a regular 250 count matchbox and fill it with little wonders in the theme of Shakespear's play, Midsummer nights dream.  My interpretation . . . . . . .

filled to the brim

I found what ever I could that looked like it not only came from that era, but had a foresty look to it!

and the play is a love story you know, so I put in some romantic items also!

And here is the matchbox that my partner sent to me. . . . . .Isn't so very artsy!

It was all wrapped up in this French writing fabric.  I will definitely put that to good use.  

And inside was a real treat!  I have wanted to find a peacock feather. . . .

Love these goodies tucked away in this wonderful dried moss!

Thanks so much to you Lou.  I love these matchbox swaps so very much!
