The 10 minute jewellery box transformation

October 1, 2011

My cousin & her daughter are arriving in just over a week for their first ever European Holiday so I’ve been creating (& buying) a load of welcome-to-Berlin-I-haven’t-seen-you-in-ages gifts to lavish upon them. While  wrapping everything up nice & purty I noticed that I had a rather copious amount jewellery for the teenage chicka-boo & nothing to put it all in…until I found this in my box-of-boxes-to-keep-until-they-are-useful-again
