That's right....a box in a box! My son was soooo excited, he thought there would be another box inside of it and then another inside of it and so on.... But instead of nesting boxes, I found this~
A beautiful floral tea cup with a precious arrangement of petite posies. Tied to the handle with a satin bow was a lovely little hand-made tag...
This wonderful gift was made for me by Mary at Little Red House. I participated in a her Pay It Forward challenge a little while back and this is my gorgeous reward:) It looks absolutely perfect sitting on my Grandmother's cedar trunk. Thank you so much Mary, it's colorful and cheerful and I just love it!!

So glad you like it! Full disclosure: while I did make the floral arrangelment, the beautiful handmade gift tag was made by Kathy, of Kathy's Cottage. (kathy'scottage.blogspot.com) Check out her blog, and the beautiful fabric hearts she sells in her etsy shop -- they're gorgeous!

What a charming teacup and lovely surprise! I'm sure it looks great on your Grandmother's trunk.

Rhonda - Thanks for stopping by with your encouragement after our breakin. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom getting her engagement ring stolen! It makes me feel better that we only lost dishes. You know, most of these things don't cost that much, it's just the sentimental value that they hold for us. It'll be okay, and I've already called the alarm company to come out.
I had to laugh about your felting process fiasco. I've done stuff like that before. Loved the photo of your patient and loving husband giving you "the look". Your little boy is precious and doing what little boys do best!
Thanks again - Vickie
That is lovely!
Lucky you!
Terri
Thats gorgeous Rhonda!! So very pretty...love the tag too!
Hugs,
