Ragtag Daily Prompt Friday: Stow
As well as collecting elephants I also have a box fascination.
This one is from the early 1900’s and has a worn green flock lining. It currently is a place where I stow some blankets and pillows in the loungeroom. The box also serves as a table.
What do I stow in here? At the moment it is full of old photo frames that get used when I need them.
At Christmas time in years past, it also stowed the Christmas presents, guarded by the Christmas “bears”
The box stowed full of mysterious treasures

I have inherited my mother’s love of boxes. Aren’t they fun?

I have an old trunk, no idea how old (1920s ?) but rather battered, that I keep my photographic ‘props’ in

When you said box I thought you meant stationary boxes not enormous trunks! 🙂
