This is a secret box with a hidden compartment. It had been in my shed for many years until we moved house and now resides in my garage hence the dust and grime which I like..... Along with the old rug and fir cone. It still stores some old hidden coins

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily. And the theme at Smile on Saturday is money box. And guess what ? I have a collection of piggy banks :-). All my piggy banks are exactly like the one you see in the picture but different sizes. I started this collection 14 years ago, when I had my first son. I’m always putting my coins in my piggy banks and I try not to empty them… My biggest one weights almost 20 pounds !!! It is full of coins but I also put some bills …So who knows how many millions is there in this piggy ? Maybe I’m super rich ! Seriously I doubt it but I must admit that I stoped overspending during the pandemic… Isn’t that awesome ? I’m keeping my money for a family vacation when it will be possible again.

I just hope we will be able to travel again before my sons are adults…

Have an amazing day my friends !! See you later !

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

Smile on Saturday: Box

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!

Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate boxes at Crazy Tuesday. And of course today is also Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays which I like very much !!

So happy orange/boxes/ Teddy Bear day to you all !!

And what is more fun than playing hide and seek in yellow origami boxes ? Playing hide and seek with a friend ! So that is why Mr. Teddy Bear invited his longtime friend Wiktor. Mr. Teddy Bear is in a red zone and he lives alone, which means that he is allowed to have one visitor and one visitor only. This is perfect for a small get together with Wiktor!!

At first Mr. Teddy Bear wanted to do some cleaning of his garage but then seeing all the boxes Wiktor and him decided to play hide and seek AND do the cleaning after ! Everything was super fun until Mr. Teddy Bear found a box full of Valentine’s Day decorations… Of course, it fell from the highest shelf and all the hearts were on the garage floor… That is when our Teddy Bear started thinking about finding love…Who knows maybe a box full of hearts was a sign ? Maybe he will find his soulmate very, very soon ! Who knows ?

Not me and I have to go since there is another video meeting in 5 minutes and I need my coffee very, very badly !!!

See you later my friends !! And have a beautiful day !

And just for your information , this is my picture number 308 !!! Will I make it to 365 ??

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

The box already is broken, but Vas'ka likes to sit there and sometimes to sharpen his claws.

Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!

Shot for Crazy Tuesday, Box

is a box of love. This box holds letters from my daughter when she was serving in the Army National Guard in Afghanistan. Christmas ornaments made by my kids with their pictures in them and birth announcements of my Grandchildren. The necklace belonged to my mother and isn't usually kept in this box but it made the pic more interesting. It makes me smile.

Found this old jewel box in one my cupboards . The patterns and inlays are slowly peeling off but the work is still exquisite.

Took the photo in bright sunlight. on a white background .

The design and pattern on this box is found in many traditional and ancient Indian items.

Smile on Saturday Challenge, Boxes

For Macro Mondays theme "Cutter", this is the business end of a box cutter that has gotten a considerable workout since our recent move.

A place for everything...

Last year a horde of small caterpillars quickly destroyed around 50% of a box hedge which Ray had planted and lovingly nurtured.

This year their offspring from the webby structures they built on the leaves of the remaining hedge are hatching out and starting to chomp away at it.

Numerous remedies have failed to tackle them - anyone have any ideas?

I wonder who gave me this box and what was in it?

Smile on Saturday! :-) BOX

Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway

He's been gone twenty years tomorrow

And I'm still holdin' on to one wish

That God above could let me borrow Grandpa

For one more afternoon and one more fish...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Never got to fish the Delta with my Pops and I'm not sure if he ever did himself...but it holds a million places where your memories can drift away...

Renee's photo of the snowman was used as the strong input image in Wombo, it was then merged with the other two source images and further manipulated in FilterForge and Photoshop.
