Not just a box

My mother made this box a very long time ago. I can remember her gluing the pictures to a stained cigar box and then sealing it. She kept it in her top draw, filling it with different things at different times in her life. I remember when it held jewelry and gloves. It also was home to other pictures. Most recently she used it to hold her collection of vintage hankies. She had dozens of those precious hankies. For me this box holds memories of childhood. I still enjoy looking at the pictures and thinking about the people in them. Each one has a story.
