have hope....





Hope is like a light flickering within you - though at times it shines more brightly. I thought it was apt to surround the words in this tiny box with the tiniest sequins and beads to shine and catch the light.
I like the way the little boxes look together. A collection of tiny tokens, to be called upon in times of need, slipped into a pocket, closing fingers around them, a comfort.

You're right Christine, they do look lovely together! I adore little boxes and am always looking out for them. It's such a sweet idea to have a tiny portable reminder of words of encouragement. When my boyfriend was going through a time of anxiety I simply stitched the words 'I love you' on a scrap of fabric and posted it to him. He keeps it in his wallet so that now he sees it every day.

You always create such wonderful thoughtfull work Christine. I love the idea of carrying the token in your pocket. I have the key fob from my father's keys which stays in my purse, I often look at it going about my day. It is a comfort to me.

I found two small vintage tins last week & am soooo keen to get sewing - this is just the inspiration I need. Thanks for always being so inspirational ….
