Bilston and Battersea Enamels Sentiments
Sentiments can be difficult for us to express. Sometimes we are at a loss for words or in my case someone else can probably say what I want better than I can. When a card isn't enough to really tell another how much they really mean to one then these boxes are the perfect answer. Enamel boxes are jewel like in that they are small and precious but unlike gems they can be set on ones desk or side table and enjoyed on a daily basis. When has a 'Thank You' been so engaging?

For those of you not gardeners this box will be all about the sentiment 'Forget me Not' while for me it is a memory of a wonderful clump of beautiful blue flowers that returned each year to my families garden. Planting them at each home I have owned has reconnected me to those gardens and times. Never forgotten.

Diameter: 15/16 inches
'Great oaks from little acorns grow' is the basis of this cute egg.
It has been paraphrased more than one and you will find it referenced back to the 14th century. However you have known it said it remains a truth with great optimism for the receiver. Give it to anyone with a dream in the making as a reminder of the big things that will come.
As an aside I loved the large acorns I found in Vermont on a family trip. My brother and I collected a box full and spent the ride home taking off the lttle tops which we found fascinating like little hats.Regrettably we never planted a whole one or there would now be a towering oak on Cape Cod where we used to live 40 years ago.
