gift with purchase

As many of you know

I find beauty and possibility

of new life

in some strange and unexpected places.

Bottle caps.

Friends and family alike have

been saving and collecting some

unusual

bottle caps for me.

I have used them to create

 fun and funky

jewelry.

Always on the look out

for a new way to reuse those

bottle caps...

I stumbled across a blog

(so sorry...I didn't get your name or address...

Got it now! Thanks to Amy.

Visit her at

www.mamascouts.blogspot.com)

that made itty-bitty candles

out of...

the

bottle cap.

Seriously now...

how cute is that?

Just enough wax to

shed a little

light.

Then taking it one step further.

Packaged in a

covered

match box...

which holds three wooden

matches...

and a scrolled parchment

with Words of Wisdom

inscribed...

Words that can be pondered...

Words that are written on your heart.

Some may call it a meditation box...

I prefer prayer box.

My version of the ancient

phylactery.

And...

my little gift to you

(while they last!)

with every

Old Maid New

purchase.
