Thoreau was a wise man!
I can’t remember exactly when my fox box appeared, other than the fact that we were living in California at the time. (We have been in Virginia for 33 years.) It was a gift from my two favorite guys for my birthday. They knew I would love it. It was on our old mantle and it has been on this one ever since we moved here.
On the bottom of the box the print is way too tiny for me to read even with my glasses on, but in larger print it says it is based on an original painting by Shane Dimmick, who was born and raised in Wyoming. You can see her amazing artwork here. I am so glad I decided to share my box today. It made me pay more attention and my curiosity took one of its journeys.
Thanks for going on that journey with me, and I hope your day is a great one.
Your fox box is beautiful - and Thoreau was a very wise man indeed.

DeleteI went down the rabbit hole you found for us and spent 10 minutes staring at her art and thinking how gifted she is. wow! i love every single one of them. I would love to hang the opening big cat on my wall, or any of them for that matter. the box is amazing, the art on the top, the box itself. indeed it is a true treasure
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra :) It was a great rabbit hole wasn't it? Such a magnificent artist! I would love to have some of her artwork on my wall too.

ReplyDeleteThank you Martha Ellen and you are very welcome. As for the quote? Me too! :)
DeleteWhat a treasure your little box is, Denise. You know, I love the fox... he's a handsome animal, and very smart. The quote on the inside of your box is special too. There are some beautiful spots in Wyoming. So much nature to behold there.

Hi Sheri, thank you and yes, I knew you would love the fox and he certainly is :) Wyoming is one of my favorite states. We were talking about when our next trip out that way would be. We would both like to stay for longer this time. I love the place for a lot of reasons but most of all because of all of nature's gifts.
DeleteAlways a pleasure traveling with you, D! Aloha
ReplyDeleteAnd that makes me happy Cloudia, thank you :)
DeleteA beautiful collectable you have there and even more special because of those who gave it to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, that's very true. The sentimental value because of the Loved Ones who gave it to me, makes it priceless.
DeleteYour box looks beautiful, thanks for sharing it here.
