Recycling Cigar Boxes

Fabulous finds to create with!, originally uploaded by creativeFlutter AKA MazerDesign.

Well I just had to get these great cigar boxes. They were calling my name while in Lake Placid on Sunday. We went to one of our favorite places to go when there called With Pipe & Book. It's this fabulous multi-level book store that has many, many books of all ages, shapes and sizes. It has vintage maps and lots of books on the Adirondacks. It also has a huge selection of cigars, pipes and tobacco for the pipes. The place also has it's own mascot, Winston the dog who is an English Springer Spaniel, the sweetest dog too! The woman behind the counter wasn't too friendly on Sunday for some reason, normally she's pretty nice but that didn't put a hamper on our time there. I started decorating the wooden boxes you can get at Michael's as gifts and thought it would be great to get some cigar boxes. I found out they were soooo cheap. I got the two cardboard ones for a dollar a piece and the wooden one was 7.50. So the total was 9.50, not bad I thought. Now let's see if they just collect dust or if I actually create something marvelous with them! I'll have to pick more up whenever we go to LP again. If you are ever in Lake Placid, NY you should totally check it out. Read the above link, just found out With Pipe & Book is closing. sniff sniff.
