Okay, so I have a few books in there, mostly for any future children I may have. I also have this little carved wooden box, it’s like a family heirloom from Bavaria, Germany, when our ancestors lived there. My grandma gave it to me a couple of years ago.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

I think I’m going to use a large wooden box my grandfather made for me that was used as a toy box. I have 2 of them.
I’ll have to empty one out.

I have a little, japanese-themed, fancy teapot that I have stored away in my hopechest. Yesterday, my 5 1/2-year-old niece decided to throw everyone in our large household a “japanese tea party”. So, out came the teapot! I am very pleased that its very first use was on such a happy little occasion.
