    We show you how to make your own cabinet of curiosities using a simple shadow frame, card stock, a few spooky images, and your treasured beach finds!! You could use much cheerier images, but, as its Samhain (aka Halloween) we wanted to reflect the season!
    Its a fantastic way to show off your fave beach-found treasures!
    We hope you enjoyed today's video... Thank you so much!

    Liebe Nicole und Craig,
    Es ist so schön Dir zuzusehen, mit wieviel Herzblut dieses Kästchen erstellt und bestückt hast.
    Sehr apart, so kommen die lieb gewonnenen Dinge gut zur Geltung.
    Danke für die ruhigen entspannten Minuten.
    Lg Jette

    Curiouser and curiouser...down the Rabbit hole and through the Keyhole you drift. Faeries beckon you on while soft melancholic chords guide the way. How enchanting. 😌 Well done Nicole.

    When I was young, the three of us siblings each received a shadow box made of wood with a sliding glass front. I don't remember my brother's boxes, but mine had a gold velvet backing. (Yes, it was the '70's). It was so much fun to fill it with the oddities that you come across as a child: an agate, shells, coins, antique little bell and tiny doll. And the curiosities changed every so often. It's a fun way to display the small souvenirs one finds along the way.
    Thanks for sharing.

      That's so cool! Ah! The 70s, if ever there was a time for velvet! :D That's such a cool memory and sounds like a lot of fun changing over the display as new things are found! A wee living display! :D Thank you so much! best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

    Nicole what an excellent Cabinet of Curiosities. I loved how you chose all of the items to go inside and they were all of the things that you and Craig have found when you were mudlarking. I really needed the minutes of peace after a really busy day. Thank you for a great video 🇦🇺❤️🐨 xxx

    That was so useful seeing how to make the background and divisions, I have a shadow box sitting here right now but was unsure how to start. Yours is inspiring me to get mine done before I have to clean the dust out of it !
