Paleh jewellery box

This is one of the boxes from my own collection. I got in in Russia. Boxes like this one is made in Paleh, so this is how they are called, Paleh jewelry boxes. They are hand painted, so all of them are unique.

You will never guess how they are made unless you know! They look and feel like hardwood. They are not though. Hardwood could lose its shape over time. They do not want that to happen, of course! They want these boxes to last forever, if possible.

They are made of Papier-mâché! I have found an article on how they are made. It is short, but translated by Google-translation, so reading will be funny :)  You may reed it here.

My virtual wish list

Have you ever happened to you that you would put something into your wish list and you would get it without doing anything? This exact thing just have happened to me!  I had this rocking horse in my wish list on my Pinterest board. I was going to show it here in this blog, but never came around doing that. It is an absolutely gorgeous vintage horse!

Just a few days ago my husband walked in (our back yard) holding this horse! I think I looked happier than the baby when I saw it! It is not exactly the horse from my wish list, but we are happy, baby and me. There was no such horse in my childhood and I am glad that my son has it now :)
