I really like the trinket box Aveline and I’m sure your DD will too. It’s such a delightful gift for a special birthday which will be treasured for many years to come.
anno - I certainly don’t live in a grand house but the pieces do fit in. I keep them out of direct sun to maintain their condition.
This particular aunt had lots of characterful items but the paintings, I suspect, were the tops of chocolate boxes put into frames. They were very evocative and I adored them. Yes, Aveline, I think I made the better choice.
