This Christmas memories box is meant to be a replica of a present that a child, living in about the late 1800's might have received for Christmas. A handmade box filled with special little presents such as sewing smalls which included a needle book in its own wool pocket, a ring to keep her threads on, a Christmas tree thread winder and a little house to hang on her scissors or to wear as a necklace on a ribbon. In the decorated box, there might have also been a special ornament for their tree and some candy canes. As you use this little box, may it bring Christmas memories of your own.

One of my favorite Christmas enjoyments! This Liberty Hill Christmas box is placed under the Christmas tree with the stitched or handmade ornaments and enjoyed from one Christmas season until the next. Thanks for the memories Liberty Hill.
So cute - love the box and all of the treasures inside! I just decorated my trees, enjoying all of the memories as I unpacked the ornaments. I have a few that belonged to my grandparents - they are my favorite. One is a little lantern from when they actually put little candles on the tree, and it still has ashes in the bottom of it. So cool!

ReplyDeleteI was lucky to get the Christmas Memories box when Liberty Hill first offered it eight years ago. Ever since I have wished they would do another...it is one of the nicest boxes they have done.
ReplyDeleteSuch a simple delight at Christmas time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely box and memories both past and present.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely box. I love their work! I am lucky enough to have 2 Fall pieces.
ReplyDeletethis is one of the very few LH pieces I don't have in my collection. I'm sad I don't have it. I'm happy to see you treasure and use yours every year. Mel
