Open the Box!



I had a delivery a couple of days before the big birthday.
This box arrived. I was very excited because I love The White Company, but I was very good and didn't open it until the day.
Inside was this box and a little card with a birthday wish from Sally, my dear friend.


Inside this smart box was this:

Another stylish box. 
And inside this? Yes, you've guessed it, another box.


A beautiful trinket box. Thank you Sally, it really is lovely.
And because I know you all want to see I couldn't resist this final photo.


I hope the sun is shining for you today.
And a big "Hello" to my new followers.

    That is a very beautiful box indeed :-)
    Mind you I would have been excited just to have the cardboard box let alone the beautiful silver one too !!!
    The batting / wadding for a quilt ... I usually buy it at an online shop called "cotton patch" I've done a link in the tutorial. I would have thought JL would have it, but I've not been there for sooooo looonnnngggg !!
    We must have a phone call chat very soon indeed - I'm off to get kiddiwinks now ;-)

    Thanks Josie,
    Yes, the cardboard box in itself was very exciting indeed!
    I'll have a look at the Cotton Patch website and maybe try some quilting!
    Have a lovely sunny day :) x

    How lovely. I like The White Company too. The packaging wouldn't go wasted either - outer box full of newspapers for re-cyling inner box to keep or re-use for gift & tissue to the charity shop for wrapping delicate items.

      Thanks Penny,
      That's all the packaging sorted then!
      I think I'll probably keep the inner box because it will be jolly useful to store threads or buttons or something like that .
      And my youngest volunteers at a local charity shop so she can take the tissue along next time she goes :)
      Take care, x
