Painted on both sides....
And just large enough to hide an old love note...
It's small, about the size of a deck of cards!...I'm not sure how old it is, but it's very special.

Hello lovely blogger.
I don't have anything exciting to compete with, my story is fairly simple- I've just moved to the city with my boyfriend to start a new and exciting life together. I'm slowly hoping to find special pieces to make our house a home. So... here's hoping :)
Ashton.
I wonder, is it hand painted?
It's gorge! Thanks Tina, count me in :)
Very sweet...I am watching the HBO series, 'John Adams' this week..looks like a scene from the movie...it is lovely.
I would like to live in it.
Oooh it's beautiful, how impressive that you can bear to part with it.
Oh I just love it! I dream of Paris everyday! I wish I could go on my honeymoon! One day!
Ohh, this is just too sweet to be true!!
That is gorgeous! I want to collect little boxes. I miss the time when I was writing letters to my boyfriend because we had a desert between us.

Just lovely! Think of the history of that box - so cool!
This is just so beautiful! Hard to give away, but that's just like you..
xo, P
Lovely. I wonder who used to own it.
I had business cards printed up in Venice during my last visit (years ago) which do not fit into my standard size Tiffany case, apparently European cards are bigger, I could put some in this box.
I wish I could give away great stuff on my blog but times are tuff and nobody would want to win a pair of my old shoes.
I suppose I could giveaway an illustration. I'm still pretty new to the blogger world.
Love it!
It's beautiful! Paris is my most favorite place in the world.
how positively lovely! what a wonderful little treasure it would be to have!
I love collecting boxes!! This one is beautiful! Count me in please!
Ohhh, I love it! Count me in. xo
I love that first one!
Oh oh oh!! I would store in it a tiny vial of perfume that was my grandmother's, it would be a treasure within a treasure! It will work nicely for anyone's little personal sparkles...<3
Dear little box, please come home with me. Thanks!
Oh, so beautiful!
So amazing!! It looks like it has a lovely story behind it...
What a beautiful find! If I win, my love note will have a secret place. Thank you!
I adore boxes.
especially pretty ones.
and eve more so vintage ones.
count me in!
thats so pretty!
I would love this vintage delight placed on my desk while I'm working with my Grandfather Sabatine's old deck of cards safely inside.
xoxo
my mother loves old vintage boxes- this would be a perfect post-valentine's day gift for her!
anything to do with vintage and love notes is right up my alley. Hoping to be picked for the lovely box!
Ahhh so gorgeous!!! Love your blog by the way! :)
That box made me nostalgic and made me remeber happy memories back in the days when i used to live in Paris...
What a fantastic giveaway. It's so special because this lovely box has a story and a meaning. It might have been someone's treasure box for storing special secrets! It would be a wonderful gift for V-Day, to tuck a small collection of handwritten love notes inside. Thanks for offering it so generously!

This is so beautiful!
I would love for this to sit on my dresser, and I would keep the love letters my husband and I swapped on our wedding day inside it!
Cute box!
It would be perfect for all the little notes given to me by Jane, my eight-year-old daughter. Named, in part, of course, for all the great Janes: Austen, Adams. . . etc., etc.,

This would be the perfect box to keep a special ring or other small treasure. So beautiful!
I've recently started reading your blog and I love it! So inspiring!
The box has such a lovely, delicate feel to it!
I wonder how many beating hearts touched this lovely box? And I wonder what the story is behind the beautifully painted exterior? It reminds of the quote, "Life is the flower for which love is the honey" by Victor Hugo. a great find. this is a lovely treasure to pass on.
So beautiful and special indeed!
[crosses fingers]

How beautiful! What an amazing find.-Suzie-
I am just dreaming of puuting my tiny treasures in this box already!!!
Ooh I love it!
What I love most about this
is how
a great wish and a tiny tiny hope
makes us leave a comment
or join the lottery
or wish upon a star...
and it makes the heart blink like a red red lamp for a second.
Because it´s not very likely is it
that a magic box pops up in your hands
but maybe
maybe!
And just that
is what makes it all so lovely.
A place for all you secrets to hold dear...
simply lovely!

Ah, I went to Paris with my daughters, we packed so light we did not buy many treasures when we were there. This box would be perfect to celebrate the moments we shared there.
That takes my breath away. I want to live with it.

I just adore boxes. I have a small collection myself and they always just amaze me. Same thing with purses. Not exactly sure why, maybe because you can put what you wish in them and it's almost magical and mysterious. I love the colonial looking image! Just like my small town and the historical background.
Love you blog and always look forward to seeing what you have posted! :) xo
Charmingly nostalgic! and perfect to tuck a favourite ring or two :)
These are beautiful! Great find!
gorgeous.
thanks for all of the inspiration!
