For over 30 years printers' drawers have been immensely popular as
decorating accessories.  You'd be hard pressed to find a more versatile and
affordable medium in which to display your little collectibles and treasures.

horizontally, or use it as a table top, your treasures will be
displayed in a most unique and charming way.

    What an excellent way to display those tricky little items. I like the drawers used as tables very much, both interesting and practical. The silhouette stitching is gorgeous.

    I have been trying to find printers trays but they are hard to find where I live. I have lots of printers letters but ended up making a tray box myself.
    Sorry to hear about your family and their neighbors. Such a overwhelming sad time.
    My home burned down in one of California fires so many years ago. In a second we lost everything we had little warning.The children and I made it out but only by seconds. Your family has a long road ahead of them, I have lived it.

    cheers, parsnip
