Strike A Light


Some really lovely looking "superior safety matches" by A Fine Match Box Co. They've got bright blue tips and sweet illustrated designs on the front. I think I'm going to start a little collection you know, everywhere I go I'll try and find some interesting designs. Do you remember when companies used match boxes as business cards, I wonder if they still do? My quest starts today.

 Available at Present.

    How cool are these! I'm my nan used to collect match boxes. She used to have them all in a striped hat box. I'm going to have to ask if she still has them next time I see her!

  10. Those are so cool that I'd want to use them to show them off but, at the same time, I wouldn't want to use them because I'd want to preserve them.
