My great uncle received this box while serving overseas during WW1.
Decorative brass tin sent by Princess Mary to members of the British, Colonial and Indian Armed Forces for Christmas 1914. Over 426,000 of these tins were distributed to those serving on Christmas Day 1914. The tins were filled with various items including tobacco, confectionary, spices, pencils, a Christmas card and a picture of the princess.
The idea was the initiative of Princess Mary, the 17-year-old daughter of King George V and Queen Mary. Princess Mary organised a public appeal which raised the funds to ensure that 'every Sailor afloat and every Soldier at the front' received a Christmas present.
Due to the strong public support for the gift, which saw £162,591 12s 5d raised, the eligibility for the gift was widened to include every person 'wearing the King's uniform on Christmas Day 1914', about 2,620,019 servicemen and women.
The greatest, neatest, sweetest most precious, perfectly put together and heart palpitating piece of wonderful Christmas decor I have ever bought or laid my eyes on! Handmade by the honey hearted Jennifer Hayslip of eyecandycreations! ~ Thank you Jenn!!! ~

at the end of the each school year my son's class was given a little elephant from their teacher Renata. I think she was the best teacher he had in a primary school.a
P.S. using my new bird feeder/candleholder in the background :)
Jordan may look solemn but she's very happy to wear her new dress and to have these other wonderful Halloween items sent by Elise/liveloveyarn.

End result of Chris Chen's and my efforts in producing a keepsake for the 2006 American Typecasting Fellowship meeting in Los Angeles. Chris cast both the Bradley Combination Ornaments from the original ATF mats at the Dale Guild and also the 30 pt Monotype Garamont on our Monotype sorts caster. The Linotype is 14 pt Garamond #3, and this was printed on a 10x15 C&P new style press, now entering its 50th year in my ownership and use. Chris did the hand setting and layout and his expert planing meant there was no makeready, though on gross enlargement possible with a scan, I see we could have added some more ink and maybe about .002" in packing. Schiller was noted for his complex pictures made entirely from type. Schiller remained active all during the 1920s into the 1960s, and the Inland Printer featured many of his type creations over several decades.
Trying to use up scraps of wood in my shop. This small box is made from Myrtlewood from Oregon and Walnut from Southwest Wisconsin.
A small part of the train garden that my father put up each Christmas.
"Christmas gardens. Like duckpin bowling, sno-balls, and Crack the Sky, the Christmas garden is one of those Baltimore traditions that's been embraced locally with great enthusiasm while somehow failing ever to migrate--or even attract much attention--outside the Greater Mobtown metropolitan region.
If you're not from around here, you probably have no idea what Christmas gardens are. Mention them to even the most acclimated out-of-towner, the one who's enjoyed an egg-custard sno-ball while duckpin rock 'n' bowling to "Hot Razors in My Heart," and you're likely be greeted with a blank stare, or perhaps some prattle about holly, evergreens, and outdoor lighting displays.
Think again, hon. The Baltimore holiday garden is set up indoors, not out, and doesn't even involve plants, except for the Christmas tree around which it's clustered. Typically it takes the form of a tiny idealized village, set amid a plaster-of-Paris landscape and peopled with miniature citizens. Model trains are usually involved. Almost invariably you will find a Nativity scene, although some traditionalists believe train gardens have become too secular and remove the creche, relocating it to a place of honor elsewhere in the room. "The custom is known only to Baltimore and many of the smaller towns of Pennsylvania," according to a 1936 article in The Sun, "particularly those settled originally by people of German origin."

This link from last year shows some of the items in detail:
Letter writing lesson at school, looking for something else, I found this, written in pencil it was difficult to photograph after all this time. Son dobbing in his sister......
This arrangement features vivid yellows, greens and whites with a keepsake dress tie in coordinating colors. The use of the exotic pincushion, bold fatsia leaf and unique blue eryngium thistle adds a distinctly masculine touch. Bells of Ireland add height and hydrangea lends its visual volume to help balance that height.

A picture of my parents, taken Aug 31, 1996, when they were 65 years old. While the photo quality isn't that good, this is the only photo I have of my parents indulging in a bit of light-hearted fun. Thanks, Mom, for letting me have it while you go about downsizing and sorting.
‘Ground Control to Major Tom. Commencing countdown, engines on…’
This beautifully painted nightscape box is about to blast off, as the rainbow rocket orbits into out space. The sky really is the limit as to what goodies you could keep in here.
This sturdy, square box is hand crafted from mdf, then carefully hand painted with non-toxic paint, so it is safe for small people
In history we brought items that told about our own histories and what is significant to us. We had our own personal history museum.

This MOC uses two copies of the small 40266 Mini Keepsake Box set. I built it for the Friends Bricks "Keepsake Box" Building Challenge.
Upon leaving the viewing chamber, additional exhibits convey specific stories about the making of the Star-Spangled Banner: its meaning as a family keepsake, the efforts of the Smithsonian to preserve the flag for more than 100 years and how Americans have used the Star-Spangled Banner, both the flag and the song, to express diverse ideas of patriotism and national identity.
