Cigar Box Wednesday







This week's box is full of wonderful vintage tabs.
I stumbled across this great find at Art From Scrap
in Santa Barbara. If you live in the Southern
Californian area it's worth it to take a trip up or
down the coast and drop in. The hours are somewhat
limited, so check the website before you go. It 's full
of donated stuff of every description. Leather scraps,
test tubes, paper, sample books, slide mounts, jewelry,
buttons, yardage, tiles, and so much more.
Even - cigar boxes! The prices are more than
reasonable and all profits go to supporting
art in the local schools - you can't beat that!


These cool tabs came in different colours, with different designations - forerunners of the Post-Its we see on legal papers now. When I saw them, of course, I thought how well they would work in my journals.

  1. A cigar box full of scrap...some of us have, shall we say, unusual ideas of heaven but this one would suit me fine. What a great emporium. Congratulations on navigating the backroads and returning safely home. (re: your comment - socks, sleeves - my cousin reported being tossed out the school dance for doing the twist.)
