After such a beautiful day yesterday - this was all today was good for..
I had a rip roaring fire! OOH I should get some marshmallows and...project of the day will be S'mores! So, beyond warming our buns we didn't do much. We did acquire a lovely old washstand that needs a little tlc before it finds a cozy spot in the store. The washstand had not been used in quite a few years and the best part of these finds is usually what you find inside of your find.
Inside of the top drawer, hidden beneath a pile a old pink foam rollers, were these lovely old face powder boxes.
pardon me, complexion powder!
oh for the days when such detail was given to the smallest items.
The graphics make my heart sing.
By the way, the boxes were still full of powder but it didn't smell as pretty as I think it did a few years back. Besides the smell, these little boxes made a cloudy and cold day warm my soul. Be sure to dig a little deeper, there is always a diamond waiting to be discovered.
Love the boxes.... We have had our own yucky winter... we are averaging only 42 degrees and we normally are in the 60's by now.... we had 4inches of snow on Tuesday and that is the third snow we have had so far..... Love all your pretties....will miss you in Warrenton....
