As always, Too Beautiful is a segment that just seems to put itself together.
The boxes have nothing in common excepting that for some reason they
look
wonderful when they are together. This group just found it's way to each
other's side and the next thing I knew, I was thinking how great they
looked from a color standpoint, the widely varied shapes were interesting
together and they were all very happy looking boxes. I had to smile
when
I looked at them. (That's a major criteria with me. If I smile when I
see a box, it has to be part of our collection.) So enjoy this very
eclectic
group. I hope they make you smile, too.

H. The
Golden Daffodils Box. An egg with tiny forget-me-nots sprinkled
over the box, and bunches of yellow tulips that are not quite
open and
topping it all off Golden Daffodils in bas relief. Is it any wonder
that
I smiled when I saw this? What could be prettier than this bevy blooms?
(The tulips are in relief as well.) Inside a forget-me-not and the
clasp
a flower. Our price: $182.90. NEW A box to make you smile. Isn't yellow
the happiest color?

I. The He Gave Me His
Heart Tied With a Ribbon Box. Wouldn't this make a delightful
way to present an engagement ring? Perfect for such a romantic
occasion!
If you have a son nearing marriageable age, this would be a lovely thing
to buy and put away for him until he is ready to use it. It's light
and airy and soooo romantic in an old fashioned way. Lot's of sentiment
here. You can't miss that it means I Love You! Also wonderful for
a Sweet Sixteen gift or a 21st Birthday Gift. The box is covered with
roses, tulips, yellow marguerites and held with that charming green
and
white gingham ribbon. Inside, another rose and the clasp, another bow.
Our price: $219.90. NEW, and it can go into your collection
just because you love it. It doesn't need any other reason, just
that it is sooo
pretty.

J. The Lady in Distress
on a Windy Day Box. When ladies wore clothes like these, (19th century),
huge full skirts with dozens of layers of petticoats underneath and huge
brimmed hats, their clothes were almost like sails. If the wind caught
them they could be in complete disarray in a moment. That's where
this lady finds herself. She is trying to hold her skirts, which are obviously
being blown, and trying to hold her hat at the same time. No easy thing.
But doesn't she look delightful? Her gown is lovely and she looks
wonderful in it. I have to say this is the first box that we have ever
had where I thought the clothing design was stylish and tasteful. Usually
it is so frumpy. I find that very strange in view of the fact that the
French have long been the leaders of the fashion world. ( I have said
this repeatedly to all of our makers hoping that they would do something
about it. Wouldn't it be fun if they did mannequins wearing clothes
designed by some of the leading designers from years ago?) Anyway, this
lady is in a garden, those are rows of flowers all about her. Such a pretty
box. Nothing inside and the clasp is a flower. Retail: About $241.00 Our
price: $216.90. See Best Buy

K. The Beribboned Egg
Box. Covered with roses and ever so pretty. It comes with a surprise
inside , a tiny bird's nest with three robin's eggs in it. (They
are pale blue and speckled is how I know they are robin's eggs.)
The clasp is a ribbon bow as well. Our price: $162.90.

L. The Walking Stick Collection Box. In the
18th century it was an affectation for ladies of nobility to carry
canes.
They
had
collections
of them
to go with all of their ensembles.
They were kept in Walking Stick Stands like the one you see here except
that ours has a box on the bottom of it and real ones did not. As
they
were leaving their boudoir they would select the cane to go with their
costume. Our box comes with three canes, one a silver Horses Head
cane,
one an Ivory Headed cane, and one a Silver Snake Head. I have never seen
this particular box before and I don't think I will be able to get
more
than this single one that I found so if you find you must have it --
now is the time. Retail: About $255.00. Our price: $229.90.

M. The Victorian Hot Air Balloon Box. The French have been Hot Air
Balloon enthusiasts for a number of years. Even today they offer ballooning
as a sightseeing alternative for adventuresome souls. Myself, you couldn't
get me into one of those things but I love the way they look when they
are drifting overhead so gracefully. The other thing I love is how beautiful
the colors are. They really are very exciting to see. Several years ago
a magazine ran an article on them and had a series of photographs of
a
balloonist gathering in New Mexico, as I recall. It was exciting to see,
even in the magazine, and stunningly beautiful when all of the balloons
were in the air. I bought this box because one of our customers had been
to one of these Balloonist conventions, for lack of another word, and
wanted to remember it with a balloon box. We looked at several until
I
found this one and then we both thought it was the prettiest by far.
It is kind of Victorian with the latticed and tasseled swags. It also
has
tiny mask faces of the sun in gold. A very interestingly painted piece
and the coloring is just lovely. Inside, nothing-- and the clasp is a
small replica of the sun masks. Retail: About $295.00. Our price: $266.90.
NEW
Note: Where there
is no retail price shown, we are not permitted to discount that box in
the catalog.

Club for further information.
