Recently, I bought this little trinket box for my sister’s birthday. She’s a Pisces, and I thought she would enjoy this mid-century take on fish done in wire.
She loved it! Its totally useless little presence will grace her table somewhere, and she’ll enjoy remembering who gave it to her (I hope).
Apparently Martha Stewart loves trinket boxes as much as I do. I saw this wonderful montage of boxes in one of her recent issues. The writer agrees that “these decorative little containers possess a certain well-traveled charm…and sit pretty on a coffee table, casting a worldly impression.”
If you go by the rule that three of anything is a collection, then I must say, I have a lot of collections. And one of my best is a collection of trinket boxes!
I found this handmade box at an antique mall. Notice the inlay.
