Thank you Ruby!

Some time back I had a "conversation" with a blogger friend Ruby about cigarette silks-those little squares of silk that were included in packets of cigarettes around WW1 I believe. I have a few from my Grandad, with different breeds of dogs on them but none of our dog's breed. Ruby had noticed that our four legged kid is an Australian Terrier & said she would send me one of her silks with an Aussie Terrier.

Today in the mail I got this adorable decorated box with a cigarette silk of an Aussie Terrier!

See how the embellishment makes this little treasure one of a kind & if you click on the pic you can see the details of the beautiful handwork, silk ribbon & embroidery.

The little dog depicted on the silk here is a male, our Aussie, Button, is a feisty but sweet little girl.See how Ruby used coordinating vintage buttons for the feet on the box.And here is the inside of the box, all padded & lined & decorated & she even sent me some vintage buttons!

Thank you Ruby !
