100 Years




My mom gave me this Art Nouveau jewelry box when I was a kid, back in the late '70s or early '80s. Sometimes I wonder about the Laura who owned this golden container back in 1907. What did she keep inside?



When I was in college, my mom gave me the little orange lacquer box on the left side of this picture. Since then I've built this small collection of these 1950s hand-painted Japanese tiny Jewelry chests. I even use them to store my necklaces and earrings.

Love this post. I am very touched--my goal was to give you "forever" gifts. Mom
