I have always been fascinated with little boxes and do love collecting them.
Any and all kinds - all shapes and sizes. From small ceramic boxes, very old English sterling silver boxes to vintage Japanese lacquer boxes to charming little handcrafted wooden boxes. Each one unique and treasured.
Today, I just decided I'd share my little collection with you!
Anyone find joy in box collecting too?
These last three were my Grandmother Newton's little treasures, love them!
I knew this was your posting when I saw "little boxes". You are the only person I know who is a collector. Neat! Somewhere in your collection is one I gave to you tons of years ago. Such a beautiful collection you have, Nancy.

Hi Nancy! What beautiful boxes! My favorites, though, are the little silver ones in the second photo...so pretty! I do have a few small boxes and a collection of French cookie tins. Have a wonderful week!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie, I love those too! My Dad gave those to me. He was in the Burma China Theater in WWII and got them while he was stationed there. I so treasure them!

Hi Nancy~ Thanks for stopping by The Porch!
ReplyDeleteLove your collection! I recently started collecting NY Stylebuilt jewelry caskets.
The best thing about a collection of boxes is that you can put special little notes in them for others to read in the future. You have an amazing collection. How could one pick a favorite?
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, So nice to meet you! What a lovely collection of little boxes! This would be a great post for Show & Tell Friday where folks post about something in their home or yard, If interested, you can learn more here:

ReplyDeleteI love little boxes, too. I still have my now grown children's baby teeth tucked inside two of my favorites. Isn't that something? Can't help myself.

Hi Nancy, Thanks for stopping by my blog. I have 3 grown girls and nooooo grandkids in sight! My youger sis has 5. Oh well, I'll be ready when they get here.

Have a happy Tuesday
I gave you one for Christmas when I was in 4th or 5th grade. I was so proud of it. I love your boxes too... so do your granddaughters! =)
ReplyDeleteJen, oh how I love to watch them look at them, and hold them, they love to open and close them! Too precious. Do you remember the 10th one down? You brought that back to me from Switzerland! It's musical and plays Edelweiss, you know how much I cherish this one!
