But one I keep in my library filled with stamps and writing supplies, so I can dash off and send a quick note without going up to my desk, and another sits on my dresser and serves as a miniature sewing kit with thread, needle, clippers, and all the buttons and bits of thread that come with new clothes.Staircase Witchhttp://staircasewitch.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-77863789010381370742010-09-27T10:06:06.862-07:002010-09-27T10:06:06.862-07:00Dear Hostess, As the contents of the box and their...Dear Hostess, As the contents of the box and their creator remind me of exotic travel, I think that I should use the box to store my postcards from travels near and far.

Not knowing at all the size of your box, would your most precious jewelry fit inside it?

Others are on my bookshelves where one holds photos awaiting album placement someday (dream on) and another odd coins - silver dollars, Kennedy half dollars, etc.<br /><br />Actually, now that I think about it, I may go upstairs and check what's in those others! They sure come in handy.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-58488715443874432052010-09-26T12:31:24.988-07:002010-09-26T12:31:24.988-07:00Janet-India Hicks was inspired by a pistol box whe...Janet-India Hicks was inspired by a pistol box when she chose this container...I'm not the pistol toting kind of gal.<br /><br />LPC-She is very beautiful and her line of scents are enchanting.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-40782897111766031402010-09-26T11:12:19.025-07:002010-09-26T11:12:19.025-07:00India Hicks is gorgeous, I agree.
