Boxes, boxes, boxes, so many box options! I settled on a jewelry box which is super old and from my Grandma. I love it, the shabby picture on the top and the slot in the side to use as a money box and the bottom which is made from paper (maybe for lost key emergencies!).
The book it is sitting on is a copy of National Heritage which I picked up today, it is from 1949 and chock full of paintings and information. Fantastic stuff!
Next week’s prompt is ‘Baked’, so I had better get baking – oh, what a shame…!
More information on Through the Lens Thursday including a list of prompts can be found here.

sweet box. really the bottom is made of paper!
It is very thick vellum type paper, very smart idea I suppose. At least if the key got lost (I don’t have it), the whole box doesn’t have to be sacrificed.
Beautiful photo Clare, what a special box to have from your Grandma x
I love the boxes I have from Grandma! Thanks x
I just love how often your pictures have an other-wordly, vintage feel. And I love the “layers” of details here. Beautiful!
Thanks Greta, I like how this one turned out, I must say it was a hit or miss idea!
This is a great capture! What I want to know is the story behind the box 🙂
Thanks Alison, I would like to find out more about the box. I should ask my Mum.
