On one of our weekend excursions - I spotted this old chest at the Kasteel Doornenburg near Arnhem in Holland. It was love at first sight for me. I adored it as a piece of furniture and also for the mysteries it held inside. The Kasteel was destroyed during the Wars, so antiques were bought from other places in Holland as part of the restoration.
Some day I shall have my own little Kasteel and in it I shall store my meager treasures...
