I am going to use Bellatrix's rules for this box!

RULES OF THE MIXED BOX:

1) To keep everything flowing well, we ask that you (a) post when you receive & mail out the box in This Thread (b) that you send out the box to the next person within ONE WEEK of receiving it.

2) The "box" will be the large USPS Priority Mail Flat-Rate Box, which has a postage cost of $13.95 PLUS $0.65 for delivery confirmation (gives us a tracking number, so we don't "lose the box in the mail"). (delivery confirmation is free if you do it up online)

3) Each person will take items out & put items in. Be sure to put your name on the items you add to the box so that the person who ends up with the item can thank you/ask you questions about it/squeee over it... Items can be cabaret, tribal, tribaret, steampunk, gothic...they can be trims, baubles, fabric, hair adornments, costume pieces...you name it! So long as it can reasonably fit in the box, it's ok.

4)Please contact me via emai (angelia.r@comcast.net) if for some reason you cannot afford the shipping of the box. We will work to figure something out.


Order of Events:

1. Lisha
2. Lilianna
3. Nicole R.
4. Katrina
5. Crimskull
6. Cat (cwitch)
7. Lady Z.
8. Devi
9 Rya
10. Lena
11.Lochana

Then will come back to me, and anyone else who wants it again. =)

    OK so I HAVE to thank Angelia for the shirt pattern and the Fabulous red/black eyelashes (which came just in time for our new costume colors which are pirate colors!) and the lace that will be SO perfect on the hem of the pantaloons I'm about to make :) and the giant hair clips are going to be AWESOME for making flower clips.
    Also gotta give props to Lena for putting in that cool disc belt (will look awesome in my pirate costume) and the cowrie medallion last time round :)

    I already put loads of things in. I will send it as soon as I get paid this Friday :)

    Just received box today! Lots of awesome stuff in there - I hope I don't get too greedy, hehe :) Anyway, I will look through it more thoroughly tomorrow, but I already see some hair falls and beads that are calling my name! Thanks for all the lovely contributions, ladies - I'm so excited to be part of this round :)

    Box is in the mail and on its way to Nicole R. ! Delivery Confirmation™ Label Number is: 03073330000189910816.

    I hope it's okay that I took so much out ... when the troupe came over to practice, some of the girls saw the box and asked if they could look through it and take a thing or two. I did put in enough stuff to fill the box back up again, though. I've never participated in one of these before, so I hope that wasn't a major faux pas on my part by allowing them to participate as well. If so, I'll be sure not to let it happen again, otherwise next time I will give them notice that the box is coming so they can contribute as well :)

    In any case, thanks to:

    Belilah for the golden flower necklace and shell trim (troupemate)
    Lisha for the light green fabric and belt (troupemate)
    and to whoever put in the green/purple falls - they were perfect with my hafla costume this past Saturday (pics posted on my profile)!

    I would also like to thank Lisha for the pretty blue trim, and Angelia for the fancy fur yarn and elastic loop tape. These are items I took, but I am especially thankful because while they may be common items at JoAnn Fabrics, embellishments like these are hard to come by on this tiny little rock of an island that I live on. We don't have a JoAnn or Hobby Lobby or anything, so it's hard to match trims and find interesting yarns, or even simple things like the elastic loops! And I have been looking for the loop tape for a while so I can finally finish my ghawazee coat :)

    So again, thank you ladies and I apologize if letting my troupe girls participate was a no-no - I didn't anticipate it, but will be prepared next time.

      I personally dont mind that you let your troupemates oogle, and am glad that you filled the box back up!

      the purpose of the box is for people to share what they have, and take what they need! (or want... LOL)


      I have personally never seen elastic loop tape at joann's!!

      And did you get some of the hand spun yarn that I stuck in there???

      I buy most of my stuff online. almost ALL of my stuff comes from online. Its even getting cheaper to buy "cheap" fabric online! LOL

      So, if you need more loop tape I get mine from Lucy's fashion and trims online... =)

      yay for the box movin on!

        ....
        Where were you 2 weeks ago when I was looking desperately for black loop tape?!
        I ended up making my own and it took 2 days!

        Thanks for the reference. Never again!

    Yay_ I got the box yesterday...right before a last minute performance I was freaking out on-so it cheered me up for sure! : ) There was some amazing stuff in there! I think I took quite a bit-but I added a lot too. I added a choli-and a belt-some trims-fabrics, lots of shells, fabric, etc...
    So first I want to thank Lilianna for the amazing veils in there. I have a bit of a veil fetish. : ) I want to thank Lisha for the little golden tie top. Super cute! : ) I want to thank Angelia for the pretty white trim. I grabbed a couple of trims abd baubles. Thank you all for those...plus whoever had that amazing blue and brown fabric in there. I'll be sending the box out in a couple of days. : )

      yay! glad you liked the top, I got it at wet seal :) , but after I had Ashlin my boobs were just to big to wear it, lol.

      LOL, I wanted a veil... if there's one in there at the end I def want the box again. I have tons more stuff to put in too!
      For some reason I've never bothered to make one (well really it's because I'm lost on making a rolled hem with my ancient sewing machine, but as soon as my serger is bought next month I will no longer have that problem!)

    Hi,
    I would love to participate in this. I spin, weave, dye, sew, make jewelry and belly dance. I have 'improved' several hip belts and am planning my first tribal style belt. How do I sign up?
