On the 15th of each month Yvette of The Charm House hosts a Tour of Collections called, What I Collect.
In her latest post Yvette introduces her collection of boxes and shelves. This reminded me that I have a bunch of different boxes in which I store various small items. Here are a few that are right in my study.
On my desk, next to the computer, is a light green box which holds ephemera waiting to be added to my nativity collection. Behind me is a matching three-drawer case that holds stationery items.
On top the television is a box which has a matching trash basket
On the top shelf of one bookshelf is a wooden box designed as two stacked books:
At the bottom of the bookshelf are two more boxes. One is an old wooden jewelry box that belonged to one of my brothers, now with a new wallpaper top
The other is a painted wood box made in Mexico, that now holds old keys.
On top of another bookcase is a mahogany box made by my father. He made one for each of his four daughters and two daughters-in-law.
What do you collect?
Do visit Yvette at The Charm House to join the Tour of Collections.
