i had a friend who referred to her hope chest as the "despair barrel". we were on the end of the generation that got cedar/hope chests. i love my mom's, from back in the 40s--but it's out in a shed, in storage. i'd like it at the foot of the bed, but hubby does too much damage with his walker. there are still things in there that mom had when she was a girl, and quilts that my grandmothers made. need to get them out before the cedar wreaks havoc on them!
