Yesterday when I was around visiting, Cindy's post with her fall decor caught my eye. I love the way she uses blue and white and the way she used it in her fall decor had me in a swoon. Anyway, I went back today to look at it again and saw that she hosts a Show and Tell Friday. Since I did not have time today to post the post I have been working on I decided to join in the Show and Tell fun. I hope you enjoy my blurry little offering.
When I had the store we carried the Halcyon Day Enamelline of boxes. They are precious little boxes that The Queen of England has commissioned from the company and sometimes gives out as gifts.
Well, they were a little high end for my tiny shop so when I closed the store they became part of my private personal collection. I know, I know if I had not bought these high end little treasures and a few things like them I would probably not have had to close the store. Be that as it may, these little boxes are sweet little reminders of a lesson learned and on the other hand many fond memories that were created along the way.
As my husband reminds me I am not the Queen of England.
When the urge strikes me to venture back into retail I look at my little boxes, some of which have been given to me, and I remind myself that even the beloved Charlotte Moss closed her shop.
I hope you enjoyed this little Show and Tell 'All' Friday. To see other Show and Teller's or to join in go to Cindy's at My Romantic Home and look around or sign up.~
Enjoy the weekend blogger's. I will talk to you next week.

Hugs,

ReplyDeleteOh what beautiful tiny boxes! They are so pretty -- even blurry!
ReplyDeleteWe had a store long ago -- it was fun, LOTS of work and stress, and every time I think of doing something about this again I remember all the sleepless nights it caused!
But at least you got these gorgeous little gems!

ReplyDeleteHey Sue,
ReplyDeleteI'm still visiting for Show & Tell... then I'm off to make Pink Saturday visits.
I love your sweet boxes. I think that it was meant to be that they became your personal collection. Someone has to own them and it may as well be you!
