Any way, I like to think up projects with items that I can still find for a steal while thrifting (for that treasure) and that's why I bought the shells and cigar box. It's to make these!
I've been on a little collecting kick for these shell boxes lately and I have three of them now. It's probably because I have fond memories of looking at my mothers shell box when I was very young. It was a beautiful one and made with care and I thought of it as a treasure box because it contained old, mysterious sewing paraphernalia. Anyway, I like my corny box with its corny Acapulco postcard glued onto the inside lid.
OK, one last shot. I found this little pillow today. (so I lied about not finding anything good any more) Since it's tiny, I'm going to add some sort of trim, turquoise and red? and give it some proper stuffing. I love when my daughter likes something that I get a kick out of, so, this one's for her.

I ordered the same Denyse Schmit from Cia's (turquoise with red and orange flowers). Love that fabric.
And yes, I just want to stare at it and not touch it because it's so purty.
These little shell boxes are just the best. I have lots of shells around and hope to do something with them with all the time off I have this summer. Acapulo postcards? Cheesy? Show. Show. Love funky postcards.
I am jealous of your fabric finds. You have great taste! And yes, I have a fear of cutting into fabric. There should be a support group.
I'm always scared of cutting fabric too. What if I then think of something better to do with it and it's too late?
Can't go through life like that though.
I am in LOVE with your fabric!!!!!!!! the retro and the polka dots..sigh..
