At the Bottom of a Box

box full of surprises

 

One of the best surprises I had this month came last weekend at a brocante that I went to where I bought a large box of old papers. At home sorting through the box of nearly 1000 letters, I found at the very bottom covered in dust and forgot-full-ness, a painting of roses.

The purchase was far more interesting with it inside.

I love when that happens, like a toy in a Cracker Jack box.

  3. Nice. I bet it would come to life with a cleaning, though many would probably keep it the way it is.

    A beautiful discovery!

    What fun, opening that box must have been like Christmas all over again!

  6. First, love your new header – it’s light and airy and doesn’t take any time to upload when opening …. Great!
    That painting….. Gosh – magic! It should really go to us, since our house is called The Roses, shouldn’t it?! 🙂 JUST SAYING…

  7. But far, far better than the Cracker Jack prize!

    Always exciting to find something special at the bottom of a box of items, makes the purchase of the entire box so much more worth while!

  10. Love the painting, I want some old letters
