Pretty Little Boxes

Pretty Little Boxes

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!

I managed to keep my money in my wallet and just ooh-ed and ahh-ed a bit.

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!

 There are some in the master bath closet
    Some velvet covered ones in our master clothes closet ( no you’re not seeing double) I have two of the same boxes. I actually have several duplicates throughout the house.
 There are some baskets too.

Some in the guest’s linen closet.

I  have a few baskets in the den closet holding greeting cards.

My favorite boxes have a little ribbon on them, or a beach scene ( the beach always makes me think of time well spent).

As long as there is stuff, I’m sure I’ll need pretty boxes.

Do you have a lot of boxes, baskets or other containers that you like to keep things in? What draws you like a magnet when you go into the shops?

  10. 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.

  18. 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.
