My daughter loves the smell of Spanish Cedar, and digs a good cigar too!

For her Christmas I re-purposed an LGC Obelisko box, her favorite color for the lining, and the mirror has her monogram carved in from the backside and inlaid with gold.
The ring was her Great Grandmother's and is a Victorian era (1800's) piece. The scroll it is on is a little history of the ring, which is kind of interesting since no one in the family seems to remember Grandma ever wearing it, or where it came from. Possibly my Great Grandfather brought it from England when he settled in the Ogemaw valley here in Michigan....we dunno.....

Might have to toss a smoke in there too for her :-)
