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
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.
