I had to restrain myself when I was at the shop the other day. I’m usually pretty good about buying just what is needed. I try not to stray to far from the list. But,I am drawn like a magnet to pretty boxes. I just love them. There’s just something wonderful about putting something ordinary into something, well… extraordinary!
When I came home I started looking around and realized that I really do have a lot of pretty little boxes….. everywhere. In just about every room and cupboard. I even keep my tea bags in one!
Some in the guest’s linen closet.
My favorite boxes have a little ribbon on them, or a beach scene ( the beach always makes me think of time well spent).

very pretty boxes and nicely stacked. I'm not sure what calls me when I'm in a store….I guess paper since I have tons of it. Scrapbook paper, there's so many pretty prints, I have a closet full of paper.

I also love to ooh & aww but can usually walk away unless the price is so good. The first picture was awesome.

So pretty…I am a organizing freak, seriously…everytime I go to HomeGoods, or a shop that has beautiful storage, I have to buy a piece. I loves things organized, labeled and know exactly where something is at. But yours are just stunning.
Thanks for such an adorable post.
