This afternoon, to take advantage of the one nice weekend day forecasted {rain? snow? really?}, Brad and I walked around Graceland Cemetery. The LARGE Victorian-era cemetery is a mere 4 blocks from Wrigley Field. We grabbed a FREE! self-guided tour map at the cemetery office, as many notable Chicagoans are buried there. {nerd points!} Graceland borders the Red Line and Purple Line EL tracks. We didn't come across too many other visitors. 
Brad is sitting beside the Getty Tomb.

After roaming around the cemetery for a bit, we drove over to Café Selmarie, in Lincoln Square, for hot lattes and cake. YUM.
It was an interesting afternoon.

This looks like a wonderful day. What a cemetary! Really beautiful. Hope the rest of your weekend is great.
Oh! I almost forgot. I found a wooden jewelry box this weekend. I don't know if it is even remotely what you are looking for. It is plain wood where the top lifts open and the interior is a sort of burnt orange velvet and then it has a drawer at the bottom of the box with a sweet little pull. I will get it listed on Etsy and let you know so you can see if it fits what you are looking for.
