Connie's Box:

Originally, I gave this box to my Aunt Betty for Christmas in 2006.  She is now suffering from Alzheimer's and doesn't remember that she gave it to her eldest Daughter-Inlaw, Connie.   This is a large box (around 10" by 15" by 6" high) with a marquetry lid.  The striking veneer around the face is Seppelle.   The box is lined with padded velvet.  The box itself is made from walnut.  Brass accents complete the ensemble.  I seriously doubt that Connie will ever part with it, so don't ask.
