I cannot help myself. Here’s a story about records, books, postage, recycling and reuse.
This box started out life containing 16 copies of Patrick O’Farrell’s paperback book with ISBN 0-86840-635-X, sent from the University of New South Wales Press (printed on the box). It must have been sent to Readings bookshop in Carlton, who reused it to send something to Dr Phillip Law (1912-2010) at his home in Canterbury (address label on the bottom of the box, unfortunately Post Paid Australia with no postmark). Dr Law used it to store excess publications about Antarctica (inscribed on the box in his own hand). On the death of Dr Law in 2010, the box ended up with us, the eScholarship Research Centre, who have been working with Dr Law on his papers since the mid 1980s. We have the final material from Dr Law now processed and boxed in special National Library of Australia boxes, ready for transfer to their custody.
Looking up the book in the National Library of Australia’s Trove catalogue and checking the ISBNs of the different editions reveals that this box originally held the third edition of The Irish in Australia, published in 2000.
I needed a box to send 18 copies of a book we have just published (November 2011), Founders, Firsts and Feminists: Women Leaders in Twentieth-century Australia, to a conference being held in Canberra next week. This box did the job nicely!
A view of the ring inside the box when Chris first brought it home. This gives a great view of the setting.
Received a giant box in the mail today filled with birthday goodness, from my Cleveland comrade, @laurenetenaglia. She always spoils me something rotten.
Homemade brownies.
Cornbread cookies.
Shortbread cookies with dark chocolate and a splash of orange zest (orange and chocolate, always a crowd pleaser). All from scratch!
Orange creme wafers, Biscoff cream filled cookies and a birthday KitKat.
Some Mexican Honey Nut Cheerios type cereal.
And this incredible mushroom jerky I tried last year that she knew I loved, but am too cheap to buy again....really, it was out of sight.
As always, I can’t thank you enough. I can’t wait to gobble it all up.
A boxy zip toiletry bag that I made for my husband - fully lined with no raw edges, all the seams are enclosed. Inspired by tutorials on the web, but mostly I improvised the design.

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 have many favorite places n Second Life. Some are brilliantly creative and others are simple, elegant and immersive.
Art Box is a favorite. This is a gallery of internationally famous art by well-known artists in our world history. These are the artworks that we most recognize.
Here, you can become part of the art. You can attach props and be a character in the work itself. This is a place that will put a smile on your face.
Art Box is set up so that you can snap great pictures of yourself while you are in the art... in the piece itself. So have fun!
If you go, try to spend at least 2 hours here. There is a lot of see and a lot to try out. And, bring friends. It's a wonderful place to share with those who love art.
Glasgow police box, High St. and Cathedral Square being altered from its original and correct red to London police box blue. All to make it look like a 'Tardis' and provide a photo opportunity for Dr. Who fans. What price heritage and accuracy compared to a cheap theatrical prop?!
The memory of my lunch box and what my mother put inside it.
The memory of going to baseball games at Westgate Park where I watched Tony Perez play as a minor leaguer. Two of my baseball hero's are pictured here... Ted William and Eddie Mathews (both of San Diego}.
The memory of owning my first pocket knife and wristwatch.
The memory of marbles and all the other games I played.
And lastly the memory of my bullfrog 'Black Jack'. Once homework and chores were finished my parents let me off to the fields and the canyons. The memory of all the snakes, lizards, and insects that I brought home and was allowed to keep. Black Jack shown here was donated to The San Diego Zoo one day and my dad and I were brought back behind the displays to see everything there!
I lived a very full and active life as a boy...
