    Description

    THE PRICE OF .00 IS FOR ONE FAIRY BOX ONLY WITH CONTENTS  (.00 EACH.....)  FOR CHARITY.. I RANDOMLY PICK ANYONE  BOX OUT OF THIS 100  FOR YOU!
    MY TRUE STORY OF THE 'FAIRY DROP BOX(S)' ,  THAT I NOW LIST FOR A CHARITY SALE.
    WHEN I WAS BUT 4 YEARS OLD, IF I FOUND SOMETHING /ANYTHING , AS LONG AS IT WAS SHINY, interesting, PRETTY, glittery, UGLY, USEFUL, COINS, JEWELRY, BEADS, BUTTONS, an EARRING OR 2, MARBLES, tiny toys, MISC 'STUFF' ETC, ETC, ETC.ETC......IF IT CAUGHT MY EYE AND WAS SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT INTO MY 'BOX', THEN I WAS CONVINCED THAT A FAIRY HAD LEFT IT FOR ME TO FIND.
    IT WAS MY CIVIC DUTY TO PICK IT UP, AND GIVE IT A HOME, AND to TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT FOR EVER AND EVER.
    AT FIRST MY MOTHER INDULGED ME AND BOUGHT ME A FEW TRINKET BOXES w LIDS.
    THAT WAS 72 YEARS AGO... I AM NOW 76 YEARS OLD AND HAVE AMASSED APPROX 100 + SMALL TRINKET BOXES OF MY OWN..
    THE PREMISE HAS NOT CHANGED.  I STILL CANNOT RESIST THE URGE TO PICK OF 'THINGS' THAT CATCH MY EYE WHEN I WALK, MUCH TO MY HUSBANDS DISMAY!
    BUT I AM NOT YOUNG ANY MORE AND CANNOT KEEP ALL THE FAIRY SURPRISE 'DROPS / gifts' AND THEIR PURCHASED TRINKET BOXES THAT I HAVE AMASSED ALL THESE YEARS..
    THE BOXES THEMSELVES HAVE VALUE AS THEY WERE USUALLY OF SOME GOOD QUALITY.   THEY ARE MADE OF ALL MEDIUMS, FROM MANY COUNTRIES. ..... WOOD, PEWTER, CHINA, PORCELAIN, GLASS, BONE. RESIN, BRASS, TIN, CRYSTAL, FAUX IVORY, LEATHER, ENAMEL, LACQUERED, IN-LAID, JEWELED, SOAPSTONE, CLOTH, BASKET, PLASTIC.
    I WILL SEND THE FIRST BOX THAT I LAY MY HANDS ON.  THEY ARE STORED IN 5 DIFFERENT ROOMS IN GLASS CUPBOARDS.  ALL WILL BE LIDDED, A FEW HAVE FEET. SOME ARE SMALL AND SOME A BIT LARGER. SOME WILL BE OLDER, SOME WILL BE DUSTY!... THEY SPAN OVER 70 + YEARS. NONE ARE DAMAGED.  PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR A SAMPLE OF WHAT YOU MAY BE SENT.  SORRY I CANNOT TAKE SPECIAL REQUESTS.  SALE WILL BE OVER WHEN ALL BOXES ARE SOLD/ DISTRIBUTED..
    ON THE OTHER HAND, THE CONTENTS ARE THE FUN PART OF THE 'FAIRY BOX' STORY.
    NOTHING IN THE BOX WILL BE OF MUCH VALUE, trust me.!
    IT WILL BE OF INTEREST ONLY IN THAT IT IS AMAZING AND AMUSING WHAT A CHILD / GIRL / TEEN / ADULT/ OLD LADY WILL PICK UP OFF THE STREETS, IN THE NAME OF FUN AND FAIRY GIFTS...
    I DO NOT THINK ANY OF THE TRINKETS INSIDE ARE WORTH MORE THAN THEIR FACE VALUE ie: SUCH AS A COIN, RHINESTONES, BEADS. ETC.
    I NEVER FOUND ANYTHING OF SUCH VALUE THAT I SHOULD TRY AND FIND THE OWNER.  ALTHOUGH MANY OF THE 'DROPPINGS' ARE PRETTY.!
    I THINK PEOPLE AND BIRDS ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED MOST OF THESE 'GIFTS'.... OR THE MOJAVE WINDS BLEW THEM IN, BUT I'LL STICK WITH THE 'FAIRY' STORY.
    I DID TRAVEL WIDELY IN MY YEARS AND SO THERE WILL BE FOREIGN ITEMS,.. AGAIN OF LITTLE VALUE!
    THE BOXES ARE MIXED UP IN CONTENTS, AS SOMETIMES IT TOOK ME YEARS TO FILL A BOX BUT IN OTHER AREAS THEY FILLED QUICKER.  THINGS FILLED UP FAST IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THE LADIES  WORE SUCH ORNATELY TRIMMED CLOTHES,  BEADS AND SEQUINS SEEM TO ALWAYS FALL OFF. THEY WERE PRETTY, SPARKLY AND SHINY SO IN THE BOX THEY WENT.!  IN JEDDAH, I'D WALK THE BEACH., always looking..
    PLACES I VISITED?  ENGLAND, IRELAND, WALES, SCOTLAND.  EUROPE (WITH MY BACK PACK X 2 TIMES ).   MEXICO. GREECE.  CANADA.   USA + HAWAII w ALASKA.,THE  NEAR EAST THAILAND, HONG KONG, SINGAPORE.  THE MIDDLE EAST EGYPT, ARABIA, BAHRAIN, ARAB EMIRATES, ISRAEL, PALESTINE, THE FAR EAST JAPAN, CHINA,  AND MISC OTHERS I CANNOT NOW REMEMBER. : )
    THOSE FAIRIES WERE EVERYWHERE!  : )
    THESE BOXES ARE WORTHY OF GIFT GIVING, FUN FOR SILLY SURPRISES, AND CAN BE COLLECTED. THEY MAKE FOR EASY CONVERSATION. AND DON'T FORGET THE GOOD DONATION YOU ARE MAKING!
    you will be buying my fairy box(s) with THE contents.  each one is very different!  THE BOXES HAVE THEIR CONTENTS AND I WILL NOT CHANGE WHAT IS IN THEM.  IT WILL JUST BE THE LUCK OF THE DRAW... YOU ARE PURCHASING THE PRIVILEGE OF OPENING THE BOX AND LOOKING AROUND.... GUESSING / LAUGHING AT THE CONTENTS!
    ALL THE MONEY FROM THESE SALES WILL GO TO MY FAVORITE  CHARITY "THE TORTOISE AND HARE' SANCTUARY , KERULOS CENTER HERE IN SOUTHERN  OREGON.  A MOST WORTHY CAUSE for the care of ALL animals.  Curator, DIRECTOR and custodian is Dr.Gay Bradshaw PhD PhD. YOU CAN GOOGLE HER AND /OR THE KERULOS CENTER.
    I WAS NEVER SURE WHAT I WOULD SOMEDAY DO WITH THESE BOXES, THAT IS, UNTIL I VOLUNTEERED AT THE 'TORTOISE AND HARE'.
    SO DON'T BE SHY, AND PLEASE HELP THE ANIMALS AND DR GAY OUT AND PURCHASE A BOX OR TWO FOR THE BENEFIT OF HER ANIMALS.  KNOW THAT ALL SALE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THE CENTER, AND YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR FAIRY / TRINKET BOX FULL OF FAIRYDROPS.  : )!
    I AM NOW AN OLD LADY WHO CAN NO LONGER HOLD ON TO SO MANY TREASURES!  I DESCRIBE THE VERY BEST I CAN, WARTS AND ALL.  YOUR SATISFACTION IS IMPORTANT TO ME.
    PLEASE READ THE TEXT.  LOOK AT THE PHOTOS AND ASK YOUR QUESTIONS.  RETURNS WOULD BE A BLOODY NUISANCE :) ! AND A SHAME..
    I PACK WELL, AND WILL MAIL OUT WITHIN 1 FULL WORK DAY OF PAY PALS OK.
    THANKS AND HAVE A GOOD LOOK AND A FUN TIME.!
