Primitive Chalk Box

One of my favorite antiques is this little primitive chalk box. I have a floral arrangement in it, almost hiding the chalk design, and I love the dovetailed corners.

Life is like art done in chalk, beautiful but temporary. Enjoy it while possible. - author unknown

Wow this is beautiful and love the dovetail too. I don't think the craftsmanship that went into antique furniture is the same today. Beautiful quote too.

I'm a antique junkie Kim, but mine is ceramics. Lovely box and floral arrangement. Good capture.
