Photo of a tissue box covered with old stamps, sorted by color. Each side of the box is a different color.

I've fallen heir to the stamp collecting books of my great-grandfather, grandfather, mother, uncle and aunt on what side; and grandmother and great-grandmother on the other side. I have a lot of stamps!

Photo of a tissue box cover using a hand painted vintage silk hankie from Japan.

This tissue box cover is close to my heart. I made a linen cover and then appliqued on this hand painted Japanese hankie that my uncle brought back to my grandmother in the early 60's. Luckily neither of us ever threw anything away!

The 10 Best Tissue Boxes That Actually Look Chic Forget tucking them away—these colorful and luxurious designs beg to be center stage.

During the pandemic, when I was going a bit stir crazy, I became somewhat over-focused on how hideous the design is on tissue boxes. So I started making covers for them. Which at the time seemed a bit much. But then I saw this. I'll post pix of mine in the comments
