Are you kidding me?? this is the best configurations box I've ever seen! I got a curio cabinet from my sister and after seeing yours, I'm going to cover it in paper now, it just looks so neat with all of the family heirlooms and service medals from your dad, just very special items that can't be found. I love the way you have listed each item it really tells us the story of some meaningful things to you. Thanks for sharing it with us!
I bought this Tim Holtz configurations box on eBay and have been playing with it all weekend add things to it that either have a meaning to me or I just thought looked cool, lol. Hanging on the top right sad are my Dad's Canadian Air Force dog tags (not sure what the little key was for but when I found these amongst my Dad's things it was on the chain too). In the top box on the right is a watch that my Dad gave my Mum when they got engaged (she always told us that she needed a watch more than an engagement ring so that is what she asked Dad to give her instead). Beside that box is a (real) dog tag from our dog Jo-Jo that we had as kids and in the box is an old dog ornament I found at an antique store. The clock face and game spinner is from Tim Holtz. The next box has a tiny vintage container of cuticle ointment, an old copper ring that I had and you can't see the thimble very well in this photo but I've attached a tiny angel on a unicorn pin that my favorite cousin gave me a number of years ago. The box below that has a little miniature wash tub and wash board that I found at a thrift store. To the right of that is a little wooden carving of seagulls sitting on log/poles that had been attached to a birdhouse my friends Mum gave me that got blown down in a wind storm and broken but I managed to salvage this little piece off of it and a little shell from the beach. Next one to the right has a tiny antique bottle that I put some beads into and my cancer pin. The next one is just a little bird I had so I got some dried grass and moss from the garden and made a little nest for him to sit in. The section below that is a cool little antique shoe ornament I found at a thrift store and a very old photo of my family taken when I was about 13 months old and one of my Dads service pins from the air force. To the left of that is a bobbin from my old sewing machine and a pin i had, behind the gold pin is another pin that I had from doing one of the MS Walks to raise money. Right below that is a really old pack of stick matches I found at the antique store. The brass key is from Tim Holtz. The bottom box on the left has another bobbin from my old sewing machine, another o f my old thimbles and a real of lace from my stash. Next box a miniature metal paddle wheeler I found at the thrift store and next to that a miniature metal water jug and of course the legs are from Tim Holtz. Anyways I'm happy with how it turned out, not as good as some of the ones of seen other people do but still not bad, lol.
