Description
Altered art vintage tin (Throat Pastilles)Collaged with all kinds of vintage scraps - old letters, lace, Victorian clipart roses, acrylic glaze washes.
I built little shelves with popsicle sticks cut to size and painted in a vintage green.
On the shelves are tiny glass bottles - "Love" has red beads, "Joy" is filled with glittery seed beads, "Wisdom" has tiny pearls, "Hope" contains a feather.
Also on the shelf is a small silver teacup and saucer charm.
The bucket is a silver sewing thimble filled with beads.
The little girl was glued onto cardboard, cut out, resined, and mounted 3D on a sewing bobbin.
What do YOU need in the store-cupboard of your life to make sure it is abundant?

Very cute, I love this. Vintage, grungy, not too cutesy, it has a great look.

I would put tiny lights to represent the sparks of ideas, and a little clock so when I need just a little more time I can sprinkle some out 
That was fun to think about for a mintue

I need to learn how to wire up LED lights, but electric stuff like that is so confusing

Yeah - we did a science project way back in primary school making a circuit with a tiny light bulb and a battery, but I've totally forgotten how to do it!

that's such a nice little story you've put into that box
first I thought it is a little girl baking some cookies 
that's so beautiful with those tiny jars full of needful things
I would add some creativity to the store-cupboard for when my muse takes some days off
