MEMORY -
Whether it was on vacation, out shopping or in his home, Pete loved boxes. I know, I know ..... boxes? They weren't just ordinary boxes though. Not shoes boxes or storage boxes, these had to be special. They had to have a unique design or an artsy flair. He loved the ones that had secret storage spaces within the interiors. We all have our weird likings ..... boxes were Pete's.
APPLICATION -
Making a thank you gift for a friend today. A beautiful box that is elaborately decorated with a Paris theme. Heading out for a Paris trip tomorrow, I thought it would be nice to make a gift for our hostess. While filling the box with my handmade flowers, I remembered Pete and his unusual collection of boxes. It brought a smile to my face as I toyed with the box, listening to the clean "snap" sound the magnetic cover created upon closing. I thought to myself " Pete wouldn't own a pretty box like this one, but he would go crazy for the closing mechanism"
REFLECTION -
When I had purchased the Paris box, I also picked up one for myself. It stated "Live, Laugh, Love" the three things Peter is still teaching me today.
