Collection Boxes, Shadow Boxes, Glass Frames, Butterflies, I'm in Heaven

I’ve been meaning to post about this “collector’s box” from Pottery Barn as another way to display collections — of matchbooks, toy cars, stamps, stones, vintage office supplies, marbles, 1950s costume jewelry. I could see this as the top of a coffee table or side table, covered with glass. And actually, I could even see moss displayed in here (after some waterproofing).

Martha Stewart’s Craft line has been getting a lot of press in the blogosphere and I’d been stupidly ignoring it (why?) until I read this post over at Wise Craft (my favorite blog at this moment) and finally checked it out. It lives up to the hype, of course. I’m going to order this glass frame kit because it will be perfect (the little brown one is my favorite) for framing various paper ebay purchases of late (like these butterfly cigarette cards).
