The Music Box

This is one of my favorite presents ever given to me. When E went to Egypt a year and a half ago he ended up in Switzerland for a few days. He brought this music box back and gave it to me for my birthday. I wish everyone could hear it play.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Was that really a year and a half ago?! Good grief!

The box is beautiful.

Gorgeous box! My aunt gave me a Swiss music box when I was a teen. It sits on the bookcase in the living room behind the sofa and it still plays "Eidelweiss."

This one is a beauty! What does it play?

PS I missed you this weekend! When I learned that my flight to Raleigh started in Ontario, I REALLY missed you!

That's beautiful -- both the box and the sentiment that accompanies it.
