I love this box! It stayed in the front room and I slept in it every day!! It’s such a beautiful box. And roomy. Big enough for me and Penny (15and meowing blog)!!
My beautiful box. Went into the recycling bin. Too BIG mom said. She kept tripping over it. I say it’s her feet that are too big!! Sweet box. . . I will always remember you.
