SORRY! Due to size and weight, this one is USA only.

What might you see when attending a tea party in a fairy-garden?

This swap is for a large (250-count) matchbox, decorated and filled with a fairy garden/tea party theme.

Fill your box with things such as beads, buttons, brads, charms, jewelry, SEALED teabags, hair clips, tea accessories, mini fairy dolls/figures, handmade items, ribbons, fabric, stickers, dried/pressed flowers/leaves, fabric flowers/leaves, etc.

If it has to do with fairies, gardens or tea parties it goes!

You can decorate your box using any medium, but the box MUST be decorated in the theme of the swap.

Members with ratings of 4.8 & above are welcome to join!

Fairies & Tea-related things are my two FAVORITE themes, so I hope to see LOTS of participation in this swap! :)

I saw Hobby Lobby has Tinkerbell cupcake toppers which are so very cute! Most Dollar Stores carry some sorta fairy doll as well.

LeCoreFemme yours was sent out today. I'm a little concerned with the force that was used in stamping the envelope "fragile" and they ran out of the good sized (more sturdy) boxes =( But I think it should arrive safe and sound nonetheless.

Equality~ you sent this size matchbox in an envelope??? Oh my goodness. There is no way a box this size will make it in an envelope. I have received small matchboxes in an envelope and 95% of the time they don't make in one piece so I find it highlly suspect that a large size one will make it in tact.

Equality72521 02/10/2008 #

lol. Yeah i sent it in a padded envelope, and it was obviously wrapped in tissue paper to help protect it. Unfortunately the post office didnt have any boxes that weren't 10x too big, so envelope was my only choice. As far as i know it arrived just fine.
