Box

    I found this, awesome, Japanese Bento box at an estate sale.  I may have enough tatting boxes, but I rather use it, as it's normal purpose...to serve cookies in...or any, other yummy foods.

     While sitting at the Bonners Ferry Farmers Market, I tat and give my little motifs to the other vendors.  One of the vendors took my motif and pressed it into one of the bowls, he just threw.  The vendors are CLARK HANDCRAFTED STONEWARE, David and Cheryl Clark.  A few weeks later, he gave me the beautiful bowl.
