#decorative boxes

I’ve been using the lighter colored box for years as a daily work basket, but forgot they I used to pair it with another carved piece from India.

I’m now using the darker box to store spools of thread which I don’t use nearly as often as my embroidery floss.

More than half of the spools are really nice wool thread that my mother had bought when she was experimenting with using wool in her quilts. When she didn’t get into it, I inherited the thread!
