We got our daughter one for her high school grad and she just passed it down to her daughter who is 11. Now she stores her treasures in it.

Stirs up all kinds of emotion, both happy and sad. I have been clinging to the truth that hope does not disappoint because God's love has been poured into my heart!<br /><br />I received a Lane cedar chest for high school graduation and, like you, have kept various household goods and keepsakes in it through the years. <br /><br />Once, we purchased a big tray of cookies from Costco and I asked my husband to hide them before he went to work so I wouldn't eat four or five that day. Lo and behold, it was a day that I opened up the cedar chest to find something -- and there were those cookies! (I wasn't even "searching" for the cookies!)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984051442829190188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042795086855373255.post-61657477753352170192014-02-11T11:35:31.145-05:002014-02-11T11:35:31.145-05:00Your 'face lift' turned out great!
