My Lady Buxton


My friend Janetta introduced me to the Lady Buxton   
the Lady has a tramp stamp  .....  
I have been looking around yard sales, thrift stores, Estate sales, and Etsy for this gold glamor box
it was by accident that I found this one on Craigslist for $40.00  
after all, I was looking for another item that I don't need ...


 for me, this is the penthouse of jewelry boxes ....  1960 circa mid-century gold glamor box 


when I saw it I thought it was too big,  even a bit too gold and gaudy for me  
that I would not be able to fill it up  -  wrong.
I have a stupid amount of costume jewelry and wear the same earrings and bracelet everyday


It has cute bun feet that easily slide across the bathroom vanity
and I feel more organized


I really like my Lady Buxton.  It is in great vintage condition.  
$40.00 for my Lady Buxton - worth it to me ..  But, unfortunately, I think I did at least $540. worth of damage to the Maxipad when I pulled in the previous owner's driveway.

Ouch!!!!

  8. I have been trying and trying finding a box exactly like this one. Color doesn't matter too much, but the layout is what I want!
    Can anyone help??

  9. I have one for sale! I know, it's been a year since this thread was started. But I only just now thought about selling it. Mine was well-loved by my grandmother from the 1960s until 2007. Since then, it's just been sitting around in my office collecting dust. It is the Gold Heirloom box and I can take photos, if anyone is interested. Thanks! Cecily (cestdiva@yahoo.com)
