This is … my knick-knack/jewellery box
Like many of the others participating in “this is …”, I don’t have just one jewellery or knick-knack box! I have these instead:
A little dish I drop the day’s jewellery in each evening (I don’t like to wear any jewellery to bed), a laquered box I keep hair elastics and clips in, and a little turned wooden bowl my Dad made that I keep lipsticks in. Mum emboidered the cloth. One reason why I don’t have a jewellery box is because I keep my “good” jewellery in rolls, hidden away (which worked in my favour over a year ago when we were burgled – the thief didn’t find them, but went through my cheap stuff in the top drawer of my dressing table). My necklaces are all hanging up on the inside of my wardrobe door:
It makes it easier to choose which to wear! And I keep my hankies in this box that my Nanna made many years ago:
The pink gingham box below it holds sentimental memories: special cards, little gifts from Clare, and such.
Hanging the necklaces on the door is pure genius!
Love your boxes on the embroidered doily. They look like they all belong together.
I love all of those hanging necklaces, that is a fab idea.
The picture with the doiley and the dishes is gorgeous!
I’ve got one of those old crocheted card-type boxes, I keep my girly items in it. 🙂
Well, I think you can probably guess which box is my fave, but I love that wooden bowl by your dad! You’ve got some funky necklaces there too!
You have some beautiful trinket boxes. And LOTS of necklaces!!! Lucky girl!!! It looks like you have a different necklace for every outfit. I’m a bit like that with earrings!!!
I love the little carved wooden box in the first pic, gorgeous!!
That’s a great way to store your necklaces. I also hide my good jewelry in strange places.
Hello!
I just discovered your wonderful blog via sew, mama, sew! I love the box your Nanna made. What is it made from and do you know what she used to stitch it together?
Thanks!
