Description
Each December, the great fir in the town square was hung with golden baubles so large that the children could see their own reflections in them. Little Pauline loved to stand beneath the tree and count the gold balls, never quite reaching the end. One year, a kind old woman reached up and handed her one that had fallen into the snow. Pauline kept it on her windowsill for the rest of her life.
This box is shaped as a gold ball ornament, capturing the timeless glamour of a classic Christmas tree decoration. It is a refined gift for anyone who loves elegant holiday decor, an ornament collector, or a couple celebrating a golden anniversary in December. It looks especially beautiful on a mirrored tray, among candles on a mantel, or nestled in a bowl of pine cones and fresh greenery. Unlike a glass bauble, this one will never shatter when a curious cat bats it from a low branch, and it will gleam just as brightly next December and the one after that.
