#50 - Back to the basics please

Well, the sense of accomplishment continues.

I'm finally where I started this blog in the first place:  going through the late Vault Goddesses' boxes and blogging about them.

Let's begin, shall we?

The box in question.  Let's discover what treasures this one holds.

Well, it's a virtual cacophony of goodies, starting with the "Rub 'n Buff."  

I dearly recall this miraculous art cream that creates a "gilt" look on just about anything.  The Vault Goddess used this extensively, particularly on wooden picture frames. I'm sure to find a use for it (if it's still viable).

Once we remove that, it's a collaboration of miniatures, judaica and odds & ends.

My absolute favorite item is the teeny blue princess telephone, already wired as if someone is in the process of answering it:

 Then this box - wish I could find the original contents:

I get to add these to my labeler collection - with bonus reels of embossing tape, which is hard to come by these days:

Now, here's where the true emphemera comes it:

And then, as always,  fun to find the internal workings of what was probably an adding machine at one time.  Perhaps these parts can be extrapolated and used in a mixed media art piece:

This has been a good Vault spelunking exercise.  I have saved the best for last.  

Just insert a "DON'T" in front of this one:

A good word to keep in mind these days.
