Tiffany & Co. Trinket Boxes

I couldn't wait to get home from work tonight after Army Dad
called to say that some of my presents e-Bay purchases arrived!
Now, I usually avoid theme decorating, but ever since I found the
map and the lighted globes I used in the living room re-do, I have
been keeping my eyes peeled for other mappy-globie things. And, 
Tiffany's... Well, no explanation needed for wanting that! Right?
Don't you love it when something is bigger and prettier than you expected? I have to
say... I've always had great luck with e-Bay, but these two purchases just knocked my
socks off! The large box comes from a lovely woman selling items from her recently
deceased mother-in-law's estate, and she just couldn't have been nicer to deal with!
The smaller trinket box comes from a sweet lady in Texas, and both of these ladies
couldn't have gone more out of their way to ensure safe arrival, and my happiness!
Both are for Tiffany & Co. The large trinket box was
made in France, and the smaller one is said to be rare!
Either way, decorating with high-quality, vintage finds is my
favorite way to add treasures to our home. I'll have none of that,
mass-produced, Made in China crap... Thank you very much!
Now, please excuse me while I make a phone call... Because if mom likes
them, then I'll be off to e-Bay to hopefully find her a couple just like them!

  3. Thank you, Paula! I've already purchased the same large box for mom - There was a seller that had it listed Buy-it-Now for $40 plus $12 shipping. It's a little more than I paid for mine, but my mom is worth it and so is this piece!
