leather boxes

I collect jewelry boxes and had several times more capacity than I do jewelry to store in them. However if I had to pare down my collection to one item, it would be this one. Even if I had to pare it down to only the boxes whose space I actually need, this one would be a viable contender against the option of keeping multiple boxes, especially if space was a concern. Each drawer is capacious and the shallow but ample storage in each compartment means that it would be very easy to find things. It's also very pretty, even as someone who doesn't usually go for green as a decor choice, apart from plants. The colors don't pop as much in natural light as they do in pictures, but the engravings are still really nice.

I was very tempted to keep the box for myself after learning that the lady i had purchased it for had already been gifted a similar box.

With her usual consummate artistry and imagination, Erika Ulloa offers a prayer for peace in her depiction of the birth of the Christ Child changing soldiers from agents of war into bringers of aid and comfort. For me at least, this takes 'just another nativity scene in my collection" to an instrument of contemplation and of motivation for working for social change. It is a true work of art, that changes the viewer.
