what's in the box?

One of my very first entries on this blog was a post about my love of boxes. My fascination with tea caddies began in college, when I first started visiting antique shops. But the obsession extended beyond antiques when I set out on a quest to decorate my first home...

This box is new. New ~ as in not an antique ~ but I've had it for years. I bought it at a local furniture store to fill bookshelves...

I bought this tea caddy as a wedding gift for my husband almost 30 years ago. I'm not sure why I thought this was a good idea at the time. I think I was trying to impress my new in-laws. Anyway, we're still married, so it must have been good luck!

I bought this box for husband as well! For an anniversary. Good thing he likes boxes too :)

This is one of my favorites... I love the date on the front!

I have a particular passion for round boxes...

I'm sure I don't need another box. Interesting though... I haven't had a problem finding a spot for each and every one I have!
