Something Old & Something Blue

Was wishing this beautiful 1930's Mother of Pearl cigarette case, which was my Grandmother's, would be large enough to use as a business card holder.  How unique it would have been, unfortunately it's a smidge too small.  The box it came in though is the perfect size...I am going to use it as a base to create my own card holder.  Will post photo when complete.

Loving this new, but old, wooden box to house my art supplies.  This was my Father in law's toy chest when he was a boy.  Clearly, times were simpler back then...refreshing to think about compared to all the "stuff" that is marketed to children today.
