Old and tiny

When I saw that Endless Weekend had blipped a photo of a tiny wood carving I gave her many (50?) years ago, it occurred to me to blip this lovely little box that was a gift from her.  The decoration is made by burning into the wood, even though in the photo it looks as if the decoration is raised.  It was made in Poland and we got it on a joint trip into Manhattan where we went window-shopping.  I bought a box for her too.  We often bought special gifts for each other, things we would not have bought for ourselves.
