Box (40)

*
Have you ever noticed that the container that a gift from Japan comes in is often as much (or more) of a gift than what's inside? One of our Japanese exchange students gave us a gift that came in this fabric-covered box. It was probably about 18 years ago, but I still use the box to hold little "treasures." I especially love the closures. You slide the pegs through loops of fabric to hold the lid closed.
