time for detail

There are so many questions you might want to ask NellieB.: Where do you find all these incredibly beautiful images? How long to you spend on one box such as this one? Do you REALLY remember all the artists and art pieces you work on? And you are really really using a toothpick to achieve this look? 

Yes, my friends, NellieB. has "the eye" for pretty. stunning. delicate. funny and funky. whimsical and elegant. She just adds her NellieB.-art and makes everything so much more beautiful. 

Just like this 4-drawer matchbox, this time without matches (NEW - and we LOVE it!) so little girls can keep their trinkets safe and most important of all: in a pretty box! It works so well for small items like the extra button that comes with clothing, or earrings, rings, ... or even for paper clips on your otherwise plain desk, ... you think tiny item, we have a home for it!

There is so much love in each piece, how can she ever part with one?

Thank you, NellieB., for making our world a prettier place!

Christmas is near

 If you are in need of a last minute gift, or several, look at these goodies: above is our bestselling Christmas-in-a-box, part of geyerwally's Occasion-in-a-box series. It contains a yummy finest chocolate bar from Belgium, a hand stamped tealight in a glittered glass holder and one of NellieB.'s wonderfully detailed matchboxes. Those boxes come in many colors and tastes!

sticky - notes

geyerwally's sticky notes come in many sizes and holders. How fun is it to prettify an ordinary household item? And how much more fun is it to use? Plenty:

 Above is the mini version, the size of a matchbox, it is perfect for your purse, on your desk, in the car. Just leave it out, enjoy and let the thoughts come!

 Above is a regular 3"x3" square sticky note, covered in beautiful paper, which geyerwally stamped with several Stampin'UP! stamps and decorated further with a die cut felt leaf. the handy gel pen assures immediate note-taking! 

 Oh, and the monsters! Not only kids love geyerwally's little monsters! tame one and it will keep your notes safe! Look at it - it wants a new home! how can you resist?

Of course, sticky-notes come nicely wrapped, like this bird with feathers, in a cello bag. perfect for gift-giving season! Need a last minute gift, just let us know! geyerwally can even custom make one, or personalize!

Lotus Flower

 this is NellieB.'s lotus flower matchbox. I combined it with my lotus tea light holder that I purchased at Grande Trunke in South Lyon. Grande Trunke is a wonderful store for distinctive home decore and gifts, which has carried NellieB.'s matchlights for a while and now took on some of geyerwally's items, such as the Halloween in a Box, and some tealight sets (check them out on geyerwally's blog). 

The light of the candle reflects just ever so pretty, and below you see a delicate dragonfly stamped "into" the tea-light!

 Aren't those colors just stunning?

and check out the detailing, that makes NellieB.'s art so special. decoupage and glitter do the trick here.

If you are interested in a set like this, just contact us, we are happy to make you one! A set includes the matchbox, 3 hand stamped tealights, one glass tealight holder packed for the perfect little gift. 
All that for $10.00!
