    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    I would love to have that box, but don't let me near it... I would paint Mexican flowers on it! Kidding! It's gorgeous as is!

    Where do you find these? I never see things like that around here. Nice job.

    Flea-markets, antiques fairs and antiques shops. The really nice ones in good condition, which are at reasonable prices, are extremely hard to find, though.

    Most of them are smashed to pieces. I saw one which was literally in about two dozen different pieces. Wholly unsalvageable. And the price on it was $120. There was absolutely nothing you could do to fix it. You were paying $120 to throw something out.
