I agree, boxes and books are perfect companions and both deserve to be opened and explored!<br /><br />G/TT - In the end the box worked out for the best (an initial disaster, but we recovered!). There is some magical association or wonder about opening a box to discover the delights within. Glad you like the white on white approach as well!Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-59540065763292305022011-02-28T05:06:25.764+10:002011-02-28T05:06:25.764+10:00Fiona - this is a great piece, I love the white on...Fiona - this is a great piece, I love the white on white and that it needed to go through different incarnations until it felt right! The box is gorgeous - I think I love it as much as its contents! - for me, boxes always make books feel more precious, like treasures requiring safeguarding either because of their cost, rarity or fragility. Even if you know what's inside, there is always a little thrill, like opening a gift, when you reveal the contents.
