Ok, so you are probably thinking, "How many pics can a girl take of an old box??" Let me tell you....alot! I must have taken 15 pictures of this box yesterday! You're lucky I only gave you 6 to look at! :) Anywho...I got this box at a flea market on our way home from canoeing last weekend. It was holding a bunch of "pieces" and odds and ends of little tools and car parts. The guy running the stand gave me the weirdest look when I asked him if I could just buy the box. I said "How much for the box?" He looked at me like I was crazy, wanting this old, chippy thing! He shrugged and was like ... "Uhhh..a dollar?" Sold! It is that perfect patina that I like... shabby and old! I am using it to hold magazines right now, but who knows what it will end up holding in the future!? Books? My millions of spools of thread? Craft supplies? I thought it would be cute filled with lots of old, rugged looking baseballs in my sons room too! So far I have only been able to find 2 "old" baseballs though! Any other ideas on what to fill this 1.00 box with?
Great find!!! I love it that what one thinks as trash, another thinks as treasure!! It is perfect!!!
