Jewelry Boxes
November 26, 2011 | 
Author Jewelry Boxes are boxes that protect jewelry. Jewelry Boxes keep jewelry safe in special compartments designed for each type of jewelry. You can keep a wide variety of jewelry ranging from Bracelets, Chains, Earrings, Rings, Bangles, Watches, Forehead Jewelry, Anklets, Coins, cuff links and so on. Jewelry Boxes are primarily used by women who have the habit of owning a lot of jewelry or collecting jewelry.
When shopping for jewelry boxes, you will come across a wide variety of beautiful and functional boxes, making it difficult to limit your purchases. You are likely to acquire a collection of lovely decorative boxes while traveling, and jewelry cases are frequently given as gifts. You can proudly display jewelry boxes and jewelry chests throughout your home.
There are jewelry boxes for all age groups and even amidst children there are different jewelry boxes for each age group. Jewelry Boxes can be used by anybody irrespective of age, need and purpose. Jewelry Boxes serve all needs, age and purposes.
Don’t limit yourself to their use, however, just because they are often called ‘jewelry’ boxes. You can use them for different purposes, and that can make them even more precious. Here are just a few ideas for alternate uses you might enjoy:
Family heirlooms. If you have certain treasured items that have been passed down across the generations, these are perfect to store in the boxes. In some instances, with proper care, an heirloom might make seven or even eight generations of being passed down.
Obviously the safer and more carefully an item is kept, the more chance that it will survive to be passed down for longer. Ideally, you would have a very special and finely crafted jewelery box to keep it in. Obviously one of these vintage, sturdy jewelery boxes below would work great.
Wedding vows: The wedding only lasts a short while but the marriage and the promises made are enduring. Store your wedding vows in a lovely Jewellery box and they become an heirloom themselves.
You can keep your perfume organized in one of your favorite jewelry box. Keep a jewelry box woth larger storage spaces full of perfume in your bathroom or store perfume in a decorative box on your dresser. You’ll find it that much easier to get ready for each special date or gala.
There are plenty of great ideas for how to use well made and attractive jewelry boxes. This is a good investment; even if you have nothing to put in it when you buy it, that will change.

Zapotec Wool Rug Designs
Zapotec wool rug weavers in Teotitlan create a range of designs from modern motifs to Navaho geometrics to ancient and historical patterns. While designs may be new, traditions and cultural history are a source of inspiration.
Several designs are commonly seen in the Zapotec wool rug. Understanding their meaning adds to the enjoyment of the rug. There are pre-Columbian archeological sites around the Oaxaca valley that reveal very old designs. One seen in Mitla has a façade of stone carved in a geometric stepped fret. This design represents Zapotec concepts about life, nature, and eternity. Ruins from Monte Alban provide inspiration from glyphs and codices, the picture writing of the ancient Zapotecs.
The serrated diamond, (El Diamonte), is a universal pattern seen in weavings all over the world. The addition of a “maguey” (cactus) border has been found throughout Mexico dating back several centuries. El Diamonte is also called, “Zapotec Sun”.
The Caracol (snail) is a pattern taken from a 6th century pre-Columbian carving found in Teotitlan’s church. The caracol conceptualizes the circularity of human existence. Life starts in nothing and ends in nothing, with no beginning and no end, continuous and unending.
Other commonly used patterns are large central medallions known as “Sol of Oaxaca” or “Zapotec Estrella” (star), Relampagos (lightening), and Montanitas (little mountains).

The weather is perfect and the life slower than we are use to.
