Ok so let's see if i can describe what a keepsake box is and what i am trying to do around the idea !!
When i was young and throughout my adult life,i always had a box or a tin or maybe only a drawer to put my special things in. Not a box to put my valuable things in, that was another. Just a box to put the things that were mementoes of a time and place that i could only return to in my memory and the things i kept were the keys to unlock those memories. The funny thing is that most of my friends and family also have a box for their mementoes or keepsakes, but if asked will not know when they started or who taught them the tradition its almost as if it is a part of being human to have a keepsake box but they don't have a title and they,( in this world where everything has a price) do not have a value or quality control or minimum standard! And of course, they should not. But we could do better
So another thing just under a year ago i made restoring and dealing in boxes for my living (great fun) mainly writing slopes, sewing boxes (we don't call them workboxes anymore) , vanity boxes (as if you could contain such a thing) and so on. I really like old boxes and their craft and the statements they make and i love to make them shiny and loveable again to last another hundred years. So i get a little upset when a box i can see is magnificent is too badly damaged to be cost-effectively restored. Of course, i restore them and justify it to myself in different ways. But here's the thing - now that i buy boxes that are special and sell them for storing special things people buy them and are happy when they get them.
I hate it when things that will never be made again get damaged and go to landfill so i hope i have much competition, but HERES TO THE KEEPSAKE BOX TO WRAP AROUND YOUR MEMORIES
All the Best steve
