a frou frou type of gift box


Hidden away in my photos.............something glossy and pretty that I almost forgot to show you.  
Pastel confections of tiered boxes. 


Swags, ribbons, bows, scrolls, and sculptural Marie Antoinette embellishments.
They may look like wedding cakes, but are actually boxes of petite to grand dimensions and
are made of quartz and resin in Milan, Italy.



Frothy and frou frou for sure....... and undeniably feminine, but you can't deny that as a gift box they   would make a memorable impression.

  11. Dear Sande,

    They look like 'frou frou' indeed; very edible!
    What a treasure and of course, leave it to the Italians for such inventive and elegant design.
