I have altered another of my biscuit boxes as a little present for a friend, and it is really a contrast programme to yesterday. My friend has a kitchen in white and blue, so this was made to match it. I am hoping very much that these fancy biscuit boxes will be back for Xmas, as I now don't have any more to alter! Anyway, I gave it two coats of white before adding the flowers, which are water decals. I gave it two coats of clear varnish to protect it. I didn't even give it a crackle glaze, as I know that the recipient will like it better without! Tastes are different.... I will fill it with some nice biscuits before I hand it over!
I will be back tomorrow with the latest news from Cissie, Jason & Co. Have a good day, take care, and thanks for dropping in!
This is so pretty, I can see why you want to make more. It will look beautiful in a blue and white kitchen. Can't wait to catch up with Cissie and Co tomorrow! x
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Valerie, this will make a lovely gift. Enjoy your neat and tidy workspace, mine is starting to get messy already! xx
ReplyDeleteIt never lasts long, does it?
ReplyDeleteWhat a contrast to yesterday - but a very pretty piece, and good that you make things to please the recipient! Have a lovely day, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteA beautiful piece of altering Valerie and it looks like you get much nicer boxes over there as my saves are just Foxes biscuit tins (about as fancy as we get!)
ReplyDeleteHave a good day yourself.
Hugs, Fliss xx
What a lovely box - love the blue and white. I wouldn't know where to obtain water decals here (US) although I know what you mean. Nice to have order (even for a moment) in your crafty kitchen. Have fun today. hugs, Donna

Your trays are making lovely gifts Valerie. I've enjoyed seeing the different ways you've revamped them. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, what a contrast to yesterday and what a thoughtful lady you are:0) Your friend and the recipient of this super box is very lucky, :0) Gay x
ReplyDeletethese boxes make the neatest storage trays, I think! Great you got your kitchen organized!
ReplyDeleteYou really are a busy bee, and I love the little tray you have made! Hugs, Barb
ReplyDeleteThe pattern reminds me of some I have seen on fine china! Very pretty! Looking forward to tomorrow's post, too!
ReplyDeleteVal you accomplish so much in a day. Your area of the kitchen sounds like mine. We never eat on the dining room table only when guests come.....you get the idea.
ReplyDeleteLove this biscuit box. I have seen those exact shapes over here in the dollar stores. The water decal reminds me of that blue and white china. Wonderful piece for your friend. Thanks for dropping by.
Take care, Lesley
I love your 'light' side. This will be a fantastic gift.
