The one on NE Aliso was put up and maintained by a little girl in the neighborhood who also said she would hire out as a detective.  So sweet.  I’m sorry they are taking them down.  Was it because they were on light poles?

One on Aliso NE had a key ring exchange. They were fun to see.

Hi Jane,

They were little decorated boxes placed around the neighborhood that functioned like the Little Free Libraries, but instead of books, they were filled with little trinkets, toys, or handmade treasures. It was always a fun surprise for the kids to find them on walks and exchange things.

Best,

Tandi

Hi neighbors,

It looks like the city or PNM removed all the sweet Tiny Treasure Boxes that were scattered around College Addition neighborhood.  We are sad to see them gone - our kids love them, and even 3D printed up creatures to add to the boxes. The Treasure Boxes encouraged the kids to get out and walk, and were always a fun surprise!  

I don't know who are the folks that put them up - but we'd like to offer to help create and install more, this time in front yards like the Little Libraries.  If they are on private property they wouldn't be taken down again.  We have a perfect spot in our front yard for a box too!  We can help with installation, we have all the tools, and plenty of wood and metal posts, and can set them securely.  

If you are the amazing neighbors who created the boxes please reach out and we can see about making more.  You can email or call/text, tandiwe76@gmail.com 505-615-1149
