The artist had transformed an old old cigar box into a shabby work of art...
The box has a dimensional hand-painted rose on the lid...
...and through the painted strips, you can still see the original embossed writing on the sides of the box (Rothschild Baccarat)...
This beautiful gift sits in a vanity tray (that I painted pink), on top of the bookcase in my office....
... centered between a pair of white iron lamps with pink pleated fabric shades (a great vintage store find!!!)...

I love that box! It's exactly the kind of thing that I would have brought home too. Love the pink stripes and the flowers! I also just love boxes too.

Now that is a pretty box. It is one of my favorite boxes that I have seen. I love the combination of the stripes and the rose. Thanks for sharing.
What an awesome blog! Love all the pics. Great little box. I especially enjoy the top photo of your fireplace. I want to do something to mine like that. It's on the "to do" list!
Saw your pic of the raccoon. Just last night I caught a raccoon eating our cat food. They are so sneaky!!
