"Nothing like it!"
Every special set of earrings or rings - those small favorite things of ours always at the risk of getting lost - needs a special box that WONT get lost or fail to get our notice (with a smile. Its hard not to smile back to this wee turtle!!). The box is light, almost the lightness of one of those oldfashioned wooden planes kids used to fly.The painting itself is exquisitely playful, playfully lovely, whimsical.I gave this jewelry box as a gift~and, upon visiting the recipient, I was delighted to seethe wee turtle given center stage surrounded by lights!
