One of my Birthday presents

The weekend before my birthday, my in-laws were in town. My mother-in-law asked if I had a name for my purses, as in a label I put on my purses. I said, "Yes, Girls in the Garden, although I only remember to put in the label 10% of the time!". Well, my mother-in-law was being a bit sneaky. She had this made for me, a cigar box with a vintage sewing theme. Isn't it wonderful?

This has to be one of my most favorite gifts from my mother-in-law.
