More boxes!
This box was fun to make. What I did first was collage pages from a children's school reader book on it, and then I took my house prints from different pieces that I've made and cut them out to make a little village that wraps around the box. And I really like what I did on the lid--
I have an old glass doorknob on it. If you are a flea market shopper, you know that these doorknobs don't come cheap. They're a heavy glass with brass hardware. Well, I found 4 of them at a garage sale (which is unusual in itself ) for $2.50 each. That's a VERY good price for these. I really like this for this box--it fits the theme of the houses so well.
And do you remember Button Town?
I don't think I'll ever get tired of making these boxes!
And I just want to remind everyone of my 2 giveaways--there's still time for you. I'll be drawing the names on Thursday. Just go to this post and leave a comment--good luck!

Love them Diane! Thanks for sharing!
I love those boxes too! The glass knob is fabulous on top. I make boxes too but mine are quite a bit different. I create bas-reliefs on a lot of them and I sometimes use the ball feet. Yes, they are addictive. I love the colors in yours and especially love the one with your paintings.
Wow, wow, wow, these look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are so lively and I love the door knob touch. I just love old door knobs.
They look so addictive. What fun and fabulous little boxes. Endless possibilities too. XXMollye

Oh Diane! I love the little house box with the glass doorknob on top. It is adorable!
I have some glass knobs, as well. I love them but have not made anything with them yet. I was thinking of a shelf with them underneath for holding my jewelry. We'll see.

We have several of those door knobs on our old doors - the keep falling off. If we are on the wrong side of the door and no one else is home, we are out of luck!!! I really need to replace them, but they are just too pretty!!!
