the perfect match!

 
Something new and different, sometimes one needs to explore new directions. Very different from my paper cuts and the maps but somehow with a connection....

We've had this collection of old matchboxes for ages and had been meaning to do something with them but not quite had the time or inspiration.  Sometimes simple is best ...

The perfect match is a range of small box frames each containing a vintage box of matches (emptied of the matches for safety reasons!)
The wonderful designs on the matchbox label is the clue to the prefect match!  Just as people connect with my paper cuts through the maps and their locations, each of these matchbox could connect  to their owner, may it be the athlete, the tennis player, the train watcher, the sailor or fishing enthusiast...
I am hoping to have fun discovering who for and why, people will be choosing one of this lovely designs.
the perfect match collection will be on display next saturday 28th May  at the Vintage and Retro Fair in Steyning details in previous post.


Enjoy a sneak preview of the many matchbox designs, which one would you choose?

Shopping, vintage fashion, classic cars, and live music…
What better way to spend a Saturday than browsing stalls – selling fashion from the 1920s-1980s, antique jewellery, classic vinyl and eclectic homewares – listening to live bands and enjoying afternoon tea in our 40s-style tearoom.
There’ll also be cool collectables for sale, vintage hair styling, Airstreams, Prosecco and pearls… 
Entry is free, so come and join us for a day of fun and fashion in the Big Top.
