Since my girls don’t have a house yet, my main concern is
keeping them safe and in good condition.
Having their own box is essential to keeping them clean and their hair
from getting matted and overly tangled.
But these girls are 17 inches long and about 5 inches wide at the
elbows. Finding the right box to store
them was a challenge.
A long time ago I got a box of cookies as a birthday gift
from the company I worked for. The box
was long and narrow and I kept it because I am never one to throw away anything
that could be useful. (grin)
Nearly 10 years later that box is still with me and finally
found good use for it! Wiccah fit
perfectly in it as if it were made for her.
That being said, I was showing my son the box one day and
remarked how I wished that cookie company was still around and I could get the
boxes for Summer and Rowan too. I didn’t
have Amber yet but knowing I would someday (hoping anyway) I wished for 4 brand
new boxes. My son told me that they had
one of the cookie branches in the university HUB mall and he would see if he
could get them for me.
He had a heck of a time acquiring them because they were not
sold separately – you had to buy the cookies too and they retailed at about $45
a box. He finally managed to convince
them to give him just the boxes and bought them for $8.00 each. I was shocked that they would be so much for
a box but my son bought them anyway and told me the price later. Clever guy….
Now the girls were safely ensconced in the protective boxes
and I was confident in their safety.
Even though Rowan has one of these beautiful red boxes, she
uses the original box because it is hers for when I toted her around. Since Rowan travels with me a lot, she needs
a safe place. This older box did the
trick and her new one was kept in good condition with the other girls.
I constantly marvel at how lucky I am to find unique items
just when I need them. It’s like I have
a lucky star shining over my head. I am
always eternally grateful for good things that come my way…even if it’s just a
few boxes to store my favorite girls!
As always, let kindness and positive energy fill your mind, body and
soul.
Blessed Be, My Friends!
