Those boxes are beautiful, time worn and improving with the passage of time. I love to wonder who previously owned the pieces. I love the powder box, I thought at first it was a lace top on the box but on closer inspection it wasn't. Your altered box is a wonderful mixture of colours and textures, just wonderful.

I certainly meant to answer your sweet lines!!! And thank you for arranging everything you found in my give-away in such a beautiful manner in your home. It shows, that it was meant only for you! Thanks a lot for your comment on my new post! It means much to me if such a talented artist like you spreads compliments! But I can pass them on! Certainly! I lovelovelove your findings. Especially the box with the slides. It must have been so exciting to open it and find these marvels from old times! And above all, your beautifully decorated box! I love the way you arranged the colours, the fabric, the lace. And the closure is just stunning! You are right, we had the same idea in our work! I will search or another little box now, as your one inspired me a lot! Thanks for shearing, my dear Suzy.<br />Oh my gosh, I use all of your comment space...
