Celebrate timeless elegance with this one-of-a-kind decorated cigar box, transformed into a romantic shabby chic treasure. Inspired by the art of millinery and sewing history, this unique keepsake box is adorned with vintage-style floral images, antique ephemera prints, and delicate lace accents layered for rich dimension.
A brass-finish floral knob provides a sturdy and decorative handle, perfectly complementing the ornate antique metal feet. The inside is beautifully finished with sewing-themed patterns, including scissors, florals, and script text, creating a cohesive heirloom feel. A sweet dangling sewing machine charm adds a final delightful touch when the box is opened.

• Vintage sewing theme with ephemera accents

🎁 Perfect as a jewelry chest, sewing notions holder, memory box, or unique shabby chic gift for collectors and vintage enthusiasts. This handmade treasure blends artistry and functionality in one unforgettable keepsake.
All occasion gift for the seamstress that would appreciate the vintage look of this French inspired box.
Made with gorgeous paper from Blue Fern Studios, bronze metal feet and a metal knob. The doily on top is an antique crocheted portion of a duvet. Adds a very vintage feel to the box! I added a chain that will drape inside or outside the box. It has 3 charms on it, an antique sewing machine, a pair of scissors, and a small metal ruler.
*** I can create this box without the millinery theme. I would substitute the cards on the lid with something generic. Plus switch out the sewing machine paper lining the inside with beautiful ivory and beige paper. I could either remove the charms and chain Or sub them with something of your choice. I welcome your input!
This is a sample box. Please allow 1-2 weeks for completion.

To keep your box looking its best:
• Avoid placing it in direct sunlight (which may fade the paper)
• Keep it out of humid areas like bathrooms
I use high-quality, archival scrapbook paper that’s made to last for years, but gentle care will help it stay beautiful longer.
The box size I use depends on the paper design. Most designs are made using 12x12” paper, but smaller prints (6x6” or 8x8”) require smaller boxes. If you’d like a different size than shown in the listing, just message me—I’ll let you know what’s possible and do my best to make it happen.
A: A custom box takes extra time because I carefully plan the design with your preferences in mind. I may need to order special embellishments or supplies to make it truly unique. Your input is always welcome!
🛑 Holiday note: The deadline to order a custom box for Christmas delivery is November 1st.
No. I only use clean, undamaged cigar boxes that are free of odor. Each box is hand-selected for quality before decorating.
While there’s no “Custom Order” button in my shop (during the Holiday season), most listings can be personalized. I work with beautiful papers from:
• Graphic 45
• Stamperia
• Blue Fern Studios
• Ciao Bella
• Mintay
If you see a collection you love (after Nov 1st), send me a message. I’d love to create something just for you.
Each decorated box is thoughtfully wrapped to ensure it arrives safely and beautifully:
• First, I wrap your box in two layers of soft tissue paper for a gentle protective layer.
• Next, it’s wrapped in two layers of bubble wrap to cushion it securely during transit.
• I then tie it with a coordinating ribbon, not only for a charming presentation but also to make it easy to lift the box from the shipping carton—just pull the ribbon.
Your order is then placed in a sturdy box and shipped with care. I take pride in every detail, so your unboxing experience is as delightful as the keepsake inside.
