2 1/2 x 4 3/4" decorated match boxes. The outside of the box was wrapped in scrapbook paper. The top is decorated with vintage items: buttons, beads, ribbon, and gold trim. The drawer is covered in paper with a vintage button and ribbon bow drawer pull.
This cute wood box features hand sculpted cookies, cakes and fruit that I made. I made several variations on these wood chests.
We were invited at Monica's place to try out Fox in a Box, a concept where you get a box filled with all the ingredients for a wonderful evening with friends. Needless to say we had lots of fun.
Note: box does *not* include foxy ladies.
not very exciting... it's a plastic translucent lid that snaps tightly at both sides. i haven't closed this one all the way yet; as you can see it's not completely cool yet.

WIKI:
The Good Old Days was a popular BBC television light entertainment programme which ran from 1953 to 1983.
It was recorded live at the Leeds City Varieties and recreated an authentic atmosphere of the Victorian–Edwardian music hall with songs and sketches of the era performed by present-day performers in the style of the original artistes.
The audience dressed in period costume and joined in the singing, especially the singing of Down at the Old Bull and Bush which closed the show. The show was compered by Leonard Sachs who introduced the acts. In the course of its run it featured about 2000 artists.

This old-fashioned police box, now a historical curiosity, will instantly be recognized by fans of the TV series 'Dr Who' as the "Tardis"! The box, and 120 others like it across Sheffield, played an important part in the fight against crime from the 1920s through to the 1960s. Originally, the boxes had blue lights on the top, which flashed if there was an urgent message waiting for police officers. The box was also used for sheltering from the rain, eating sandwiches and report writing. Sheffield is one of the very few cities in the UK where these boxes can still be seen.

Egypt
Darius I as pharaoh
The Achaemenid kings adopted local titles and traditions to maintain their authority across a culturally diverse empire. This included Egypt, which they ruled from 525 to 404 BC. On this wooden door, Darius I (about 550–486 BC) is portrayed (right) as an Egyptian pharaoh, making offerings to the deities Anubis (centre) and Isis (left). The door was part of a box for storing statuettes. It was covered in gold and inlaid with coloured glass.*

Luxury and power: Persia to Greece
(May 2023 – Aug 2023)
Between 490 and 479 BC, the Persian empire tried, and failed, to conquer mainland Greece. Many Greeks explained their victory as a triumph of plain living over a ‘barbarian’ enemy weakened by luxury. Ancient objects reveal a different story. The Persian court used luxury as an expression of prestige and power, with a distinctive style that was imitated and adapted across cultural borders, even influencing democratic Athens and, later, the world of Alexander the Great.
'Treasure there was in plenty – tents full of gold and silver furniture… bowls, goblets, and cups, all made of gold'
When Greek soldiers captured the royal command tent of the Persian king during the Greco-Persian Wars (499–449 BC), they were confronted suddenly and spectacularly by luxury on an unimaginable scale. To many ancient Greek writers, the victories of the small Greek forces against the mighty Persians were a triumph of discipline and restraint over an empire weakened by decadence and excess.
Drawing on dazzling objects from Afghanistan to Greece, this exhibition moved beyond the ancient Greek spin to explore a more complex story about luxury as a political tool in the Middle East and southeast Europe from 550–30 BC. It explored how the royal Achaemenid court of Persia used precious objects as markers of authority, defining a style of luxury that resonated across the empire from Egypt to India. It considered how eastern luxuries were received in early democratic Athens, self-styled as Persia's arch-enemy, and how they were adapted in innovative ways to make them socially and politically acceptable. Finally, it explored how Alexander the Great swept aside the Persian empire to usher in a new Hellenistic age in which eastern and western styles of luxury were fused as part of an increasingly interconnected world.
The exhibition brought together exquisitely crafted objects in gold, silver and glass, and featured star loans including the extraordinary Panagyurishte Treasure from Bulgaria. Whether coveted as objects of prestige or disparaged as signs of decadence, the beauty of these Persian, Greek and Hellenistic luxuries shaped the political landscape of Europe and Asia in the first millennium BC – and their legacy persists in our attitudes to luxury today.

Each year, Gallery Route One in Point Reyes invites over a hundred artists to create unique works of art using a wooden box.
Here are the inspiring artworks they created this year: they range in style from whimsical to poignant and thought-provoking. These photos were taken on closing day, when the gallery organized a live auction for each of this year’s 150 boxes. The proceeds support the gallery’s exhibits and community programs.
Two of the boxes were created by members of our art community: Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) contributed an illuminated box called ‘Magical’, while Geo Monley and Meryl Rubenstein made ‘Les Puzzles.’
Members of ‘Pataphysical Studios came to cheer for their peers -- Dr. Really was the highest bidder for Dr. Rindbrain’s piece, which was thus kept in the family. After the show, we all went to Stellina to celebrate over a nice dinner.

I liked the look of this vintage fire box, so I snapped a shot off of it in front of the Chicago Theater.
I call this kind of box a "Schrodinger's Box" as a reference to the fact that it's made as one large box, and until you slice off the lid, there's just no telling WHAT might be inside... Maybe even Schrodinger's Cat

Ususally there's just sawdust, but you never know....
The dark wood is walnut, the top is quilted maple with a walnut stripe.
