Authenticity goes by the wayside after the movers place a handcrafted chest in an honored place in your home. Regardless of its original function, it's all paid for. It's yours.

Close the door. Scurry around to gather your collection of... 

Socks? You could sort them by color, length, thickness or function.

Rice? Wild, long grain, white, brown... There must be a hundred varieties.

Nails? Well, maybe nails, if you are handy. Add an assortment of picture hooks, too, along with screws, and those thing-a-ma-jigs that don't have a name. 

Or perhaps ties, nicely folded? And a collection of cuff links?

Reserve a few drawers for watches.

Maybe earrings? Rings? Bracelets?

Oh, let's go back to socks.
