Christmas Vintage Lunch Box

Plaid material, vintage lunch box and a gnome Santa. It really does go together in a quizzical Christmas scheme! I picked up the lunch box, several years ago and have had it on top of an old medicine cabinet, always thinking someday I will do something unique.
How many times do you walk through a junk shop/show and pick that special something up and someone asks, "What are you going to do with that?" Ya, me too!
Picture
I started by painting the lunch box with black oil enamel. 
Picture
Stuffing the lunch box full of green block foam and gathering floral picks from Hobby Lobby, the arrangement was on it's way to being the centerpiece for a Christmas gathering.

Gnome Santa's are a hot item this year, and this one fit just perfect.

I made the plaid square tabletop and the matching napkins. The material is from Joann's.

The Santa keys will be my hostess gift for the ladies at my table.

Super cute! I love filling old boxes and tins with vignettes. Thanks for sharing with SYC. I would have liked to have featured you, but I'm not seeing a link back to the party. :(
hugs,
Jann
