$34.99
This Main Street Press Romance recipe card box, with folk art by Karen Hillard Crouch and dated ©2001, comes packed full of one family's handwritten recipes.
The artwork is bright on all sides and the hinged lid works, with edge and corner rubbing mostly along the lid, all shown in the photos.
Red hearts on black, a gold swirl band, warm red and gold stripes, and a large floral heart cover the box. Inside, tabbed dividers hold recipes on index cards and notepad sheets, from zucchini bread and blueberry bread to Parmesan pull apart biscuits, chewy peanut butter cookies, and stuffed chicken breasts.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.
