What a great thread. My mother and I are English transplants to Australia. In England my mother called it "the bottom drawer", but when we got to Australia, here they refer to it as a "Glory Box". Whatever the name, it is a wonderful idea...there are so many things that are "timeless" and useful. Who wouldn't love handmade pillowcases, sachets for pot-pourri or lavender, lingerie bags, stocking bags, table linen, heat pads, potholders table runners.....a stunning quilt...all future heirlooms. Even more special if they are "signed" and dated. I still have and use a hand embroidered divided bag for stockings, made by my great-grandmother.
