He's a keeper!

I have an amazing husband. He got me a beautiful hand crafted box from the Ukraine for our anniversary. And guess what he wrapped it in?????? Fabric from my favorite quilt shop. The white dots in the design of the box are seed beads. The wrapping "paper" is the fabric in the pictures.

Thanks ladies, and Tartan I'm not sure. I am not a jewelry person so definitely not jewelry.

WOW, wow, and Wow!!!!!! Happy Anniversary. Lovely gift. You are Blessed.

I don't know if you'd say I collect boxes, but have always loved a cool box. His wedding gift to me was a carved stone box, that has a victorian wedding scene carved into the top. A different anniversary he got me an intriquitly carved box w/ a secret way to open it. And I found one at a garage sale that is carved w/ apothecary type drawers (5 drawers) it reminds me of Spanish mideavil w/ chunky carving and metal work.

You've got a keeper - beautiful box and fabric.

Battle Axe 09-20-2017 04:49 AM

Happy anniversary! Keep occasionally used and extra quilting things....like an extra pack of large needles and some extra rotary cutting blades. Make use of the box and that will make that man even happier.

terriamn 09-20-2017 05:23 AM

Beautiful hand crafted keepsake, awesome hubby. Happy Anniversary.

Wanabee Quiltin 09-20-2017 05:38 AM

Such a pretty box. Happy Wife, happy life. Congrats for your anniversary.

Congrats on your anniversary and your choice of a husband.

nativetexan 09-20-2017 05:55 AM

that is lovely. the box and the gift of fabric too. My best friend is Ukrainian. born here but her family is from there.

Boston1954 09-20-2017 07:18 AM

Oh my! That is just stunning. You are right. He certainly is a keeper. My Jim once made me a quilt rack, and a shelf unit for my cup plates.

quilterpurpledog 09-20-2017 09:36 AM

I do like your box and the fabric. However, that verse is priceless! It says wonderful things about you and the love you share. Congratulations and may you have lots more wonderful anniversaries together.

Kassaundra 09-20-2017 01:00 PM

He was going to put my favorite scripture in it, but it was to long so he chose that verse.
