antique sewing box & birds-eye maple writing slope
I’ve always loved little boxes. Even when I was a girl, I had a few small boxes, mostly made of wood, for keeping little treasures. So, naturally, that has carried over into adulthood, specifically when it comes to boxes that hold creative supplies. I’ve shared about my love of artist paint boxes (oh, those are so irresistible), but I’m not going to limit my antique box horizons. So, this past week, I picked up a couple more antique wooden boxes to bring to our next house. The first one is an from the 1800s. I saw it in a case and dismissed it as likely being too expensive, but then I saw the booth was running a 50% off sale. I confirmed the sale was for the entire booth and asked to have a closer look at the box. With the 50% off sale, it would be discounted to $80
