It was the biggest jewelry box I had ever seen, I had only witnessed the pink plastic ones in the sears catalogue previous to this one.
It was enormous, so big I remember my poppy having trouble carrying it, let alone sneaking it into their house. It was very ornate with cherry trees, chinese rock gardens and peacocks on it, it had a beautiful gold trim and layers and layers of drawers and doors that lifted out with secret compartments.
Ever since I have loved jewlery boxes and recall the joy I felt as a little girl trying on all my nanny's beautiful jewelry and pretending I was queen of the world. Today I decided to find one just like hers so I started the vintage hunt on Etsy.
