I love this little box. It was always sitting out on a table or a shelf in our home for as long as I can remember. Mom used to keep it filled with pieces of natural glass that we would find on our beach trips. That was always a fun way to pass the time at the shore. That and sharks' teeth. The glass looked so beautiful inside the box and gave the box a wonderfully colorful appearance.
I don't know where Mom got this little box from. It may have been a wedding present or something she got from Aunt Mary Lee. Or it could have simply been something she picked up along the way because she liked it. Whatever the reason, I'm glad she had it because I really think it's pretty. There is a chip in the lid now. I'm not sure when that occurred but it is not going to keep me from using it. Most of us are cracked or chipped in one or another so those qualities in my possessions do not bother me either LOL
Now it sits on a chest in my den. It's empty at the moment. I would love to go to the beach and search for glass again to fill the box back up. Maybe one day!
