Pretty Wooden Boxes

My collection of wooden boxes began a few years ago. Here is a small selection.

I found these beautiful trinket boxes either at car boot sales or in charity shops. The most I've spent on a box is three pounds and fifty pence, but I've seen exact boxes being sold for around ten pounds at my local car boot.

My favourites are the handcrafted carved jewellery boxes from India. I just love the floal designs. I'd like to try my hands at carving wood, but not sure I'd have the patience to complete a task.

Small box 15cm x 10cm x 6cm
Large box 22cm x 15cm x 6cm

Some of the trinket and jewellery boxes are inlayed with brass, which are very pretty.

I especially love the design on ths box, simple yet stunning. I think I paid about two pounds for this one.

My daughter found this tiny trinket box in a charity shop which she gave to me for Christmas. It's so cute with my favourite floral carving.

I don't use all of my boxes for storage. They mostly sit on the windowsill looking pretty.
