Today is June 1st, and it is 13 days until my boyfriend's birthday. I made him a birthday countdown box from an old typedrawer. Kind of like an advent calendar, each slot contains a vial with a tag attached...13 vials in all, one for each day until his birthday. I filled the vials with various things, for texture and color then attached a tag with a sentiment related to the vial's contents. I tied the tags to the vials with baker's twin and sealed them with beeswax. To the right of the vials is an accordion book that reads "for you," when closed, and is the end of a message when the book is open.
A detail of the contents of one of the vials... tiny carrots for my "rabbit."
