My Matchbox Display

My matchbooks from Waiting on Martha (that I posted about here) came awhile ago and I love them! The only problem was I didn't really know where or how to display them, and ended up hiding them in a drawer, which is a huge shame given how adorable they are! Then the other day I was thrifting at Value Village and a pretty pink depression glass bowl caught my eye from a distance. When I got close, I realized it was actually an ashtray and I thought 'what a clever, witty little holder for my matches this would be!'. At $3, this baby came home with me and is making me happy every day!

  2. What a pretty display! It's funny how we never see ashtrays anymore in homes, but I'm loving how you used yours...it looks like art!

  6. I love those matches since the first time I saw them on your blog. I wish I could put them on my coffee table but the parent in me says NO lol. I don't even want to think about what my kids could do with them, yikes
