114 Jewelry Box

114 Jewelry Box

Object: Fancy-pants elegant jewelry box

Acquired: Christmas 2006-ish?

From: Tante, who gave them to all the female cousins

Notes: I like this box, although it's not one I would have picked out for myself, and also it's too fancy for the costume jewelry I keep in it.

Nor did I realize how much was in it until I started photographing for this next section of my blog. I guess small jewelry bits really DO add up over time. And maybe I should have started out with four digit numbers instead of three.

085 Box

085 Dragon Box

Object: Resin Dragon Box

Acquired: March 2011

From: Good Will

Cost: $3-ish

Notes: It actually had two different price tags, one on the lid and one on the bottom. I worried I'd have to pay for both pieces separately--but I didn't.  This is an awesome box, and it's not chipped or damaged or anything. I'm not sure what I'll keep in it, since the actual storage space is smallish, but even if I never think of anything this is an awesome box!

032 Book Box

032 Book Box

Object: Amy-Decorated Book Box

Acquired: Unknown

From: Unknown, but I decorated it!

Notes: It's a book! It's a box! It's the start of another collection of mine! Seriously, I love these things. I have more of them than I have things to store in them. This box actually gets to store my beaded tapestries (when they aren't hanging up) and other beaded bits. Some day I'll photograph its contents.  Look forward to it.
