Editor’s Notes
I
ts never static. The stories you tell of childhood days, the memories you hold dear - they multiply , a thousand times over. We kept saying Wake Up & Live, and at first it was just a catchy phrase that gave a caffine - like boost 6am each morning. Off swings the feet and the beat starts playing in your head , and you’re ready to go ! Until a loved one dies too soon , or too young. Destined for Greatness - Now Gone. Alas, Life is an adventure. It is the movies, the novels , the stories we make up. It’s beautiful, romantic, tragic and sad, stand ovation worthy. How wonderful it is to have this moment with you. Words cannot explain the joy in my heart that there is now a Sugarplum Box. A place where creativity lives Let the Adventures Begin.

It was Denbigh 2008, I met and instantly fell in love with the most gorgeous wooden box and made a vow that I had to get the entire set for myself. Soon thereafter I bought her entire inventory of wooden boxes and the rest is history.
