Thank you Sandy for giving my creativity a jump start! Sandy hosted a Vintage Egg Carton Swap and asked me to join. I was also the lucky recipient of her creation.
Here are pics of all the goodies inside. Sandy knows my studio is blue, so everything had a blue theme to it.
These pieces of ephemera were tuck into the carton lid held by this pretty lace.
Thank you Sandy for all the beautiful things you sent! Your creation is wonderful. Okay Sandy, if you don't want to ruin your surprise, stop reading the rest of this post. The mail between the US and Canada is so slow. I hope you get your package today.Here is what I made for Sandy.
I started out by spray painting the entire carton a soft white shade.
Then I had fun plowing through all the things in my studio to look for embellishments, and goodies for the inside.
I added lace, pom-pom garland and some feathers peaking out of the top cover.
I lined each of the eggs cups with silk rose petals.
I know how much Sandy likes her dolls. This one is ready for her to create something wonderful.
An old millinery flower with tags tucked into a pocket I made in the top.
Thanks again, Sandy for hosting this swap. It was a really fun project.

What a great idea! Beautiful results. I hadn't thought of using an egg carton in this way.
Hope you and Shelby are enjoying summer.

Oh how much fun!!! All of that stuff looks so wonderful - I bet it's like being a kid in a candy store. Have fun creating with all that great stuff! - And do post pictures of what you create with it.
How FUN is this?! The little nested compartments are the PERFECT place for trickets and sweet nothings to travel in! LOVE it! Both what you got and what you sent out.
Wow!! That looks like it was such a fun swap, Tammy! I love what you made for Sandy and what she made for you. I am so impressed that egg cartons can be made in to such beautiful works of art!

No, thank YOU Tammy!! I just recieved your gorgeous egg carton today and I love all the details! The doll was the first lovely thing that jumped out at me when I opened the carton. You are so clever to spray paint the carton too!! I wish I had thought of that! Thanks again, I love everything!

I just wanted you to know that I have been following your blog unofficially for quite some time, officially as of today. I was just given an award from a fellow blogger that I would love to pass on to you. You can check it out on my blog.
You are amazingly talented and I find much inspiration in what you do. Thanks
These are lovely. I'm doing my first swap and Jennifer sent us this link for inspiration! These are truly lovely!
