SUPER Something | Order no. 15

December 8th, 2009

This is one of our favorite Somethings to date. In the background, you’ll see a bottle. This is made to hold your favorite beverage. Better yet, do you notice what it’s encased in? It has it’s own carrying case plus a music box. And, the music box is in working condition.  You wind the music box up on the underside of the bottle. We have no idea what this is called—-if anyone has any information—please leave a comment!

In the foreground, you’ll see a box. This box was hand carved many years ago. Notice the hand stained wood. This is a unique little box and it says ‘St Maarlen.’ (however, we think it might say St. Maarten since this box likely originated out of the Caribbean.)SMS_00014

Somethin’ Something | Order no. 14

December 8th, 2009

Lookie here, folks. This one-of-a-kind box, emblazoned with a salmon, protects the recipient from evil.

Joe Wilson is a native american artist, and this is an authentic Joe Wilson box. The top panel slides on and off revealing a compartment. We stumbled upon this out at an estate sale and we just knew it was destined to become a Something. To accentuate the box, included are some of the best issues of the 2009 New Yorker, high lighters for marking favorite passages and a vintage western enameled bookmark. This particular bookmark is from the ’70s and is pretty heavy. It’s a neat little piece.

This Somethin’ Something features a one-of-a-kind silver piano music box inlaid with red velveteen fabric. It appears to be a very fancy jewelry box from days gone by.

Also included are two tea cups featuring a lovely dot-n-swirls pattern and two servings of Green Walnut Loose Leaf Tea!

The lace and green cording is a vintage find.
