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?

I love pretty boxes as well. Various prints and embellishments make them so uniquely special. Yours are just beautiful.
thank you, I bet you have some lovely ones too.
I love them too! It feels like having hidden treasure for me…not sure why. I do love them and in a variety of styles and colors.

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.
Joni
I have never been to home goods, I bet I’d love it!
Yup! Everything looks better in a lovely box. I use them and seagrass baskets where I can.
Love, love, love them!
I have some seagrass baskets in my art room. They are so strong.
I LOVE boxes and bags and labeled container of any kind!! I'm a self confessed box-aholic! (sp?)
The more bows and ribbons on them the better…lol!
Yours are cute and your closets cuter!!
oh you are such a doll!
I love your organized closets!
thank you Brandi I’m a little AR, LOL!
I too put things into boxes for safe and tidy keeping.
They have some very collectable ones out now.
Loved the post and pics also.

Thank Yvonne. I know have you seen some of the beautiful hat boxes. Makes me wish I had hats, giggle
I love them too. I love to be able to hide things out of sight but close at hand.
Hugs,
Kat
I love putting things into something pretty
I also love to ooh & aww but can usually walk away unless the price is so good. The first picture was awesome.
Odie
thank you Odie, hugs!
Those are lovely. I also have some pretty boxes in closets. I, too, am drawn to them in stores.
I can’t resist, giggle
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.
my daughter is a scrapbooker too, She has piles of pretty paper. You could put some on a box and add some ribbon and taa daa!
OK, OK, I really have to get rid of some of the old shoeboxes I use to store things in!
absolutely, show boxes must go ( recycle though). Hugs!
Thanks for sharing all your beautiful boxes and baskets. I have to admit, I love them myself!
Heather , I have sooo many, giggle
