This is a box of christmas cookies I made and gave out to friends and family this year. Yes...I baked all those cookies...and yes, I was in the kitchen for a whole day doing it!
My father had the first tool box he ever had when he first became a Carpenter. I rememnber all of these tools and the almost identical tool box. Strange to think this one was in a museum.
His first Box Lacrosse game ever was not quite how he envisioned it...The 5XL jersey and 20 lbs of pads proved to be *slightly* restrictive. Perhaps we'll revisit this when he's 6'2".
I love the detail around the entire box and the way Bastardino is on a chain. He is so grumpy looking but too cute at the same time. If you look at the stockings closely they are not leopard print but rather small faces, fantastic detail.

The Altissa Box was a nice new variant of Altissa's characteristic line of box cameras. It was launched one year before the company became the state-owned VEB Altissa Camera Werk.
Altissa Kamera Werk's former name was Eho-Altissa.
I found this box during my New Year's walk after having eaten so much over the holidays. ;-) The area where the picture was taken gets flooded to some extent almost every year during summer rainfalls (the place is something like 200m from the Danube main stream). The place itself is pretty scary, people have left behind all sorts of different things in the forest and also water silts loads of crap in what in summer appears to be the bank.
O-S Music Box, view B using a feedsack print (not very good for taking pictures, but it is really great and with a proper weight for a fall/winter dress).
Liesl was totally right on this one: It is very simple and easy to follow (and the results are impeccable as usual with O+S patterns).
I'm pretty sure this one will be a "must-have" in her closet from now on and I'm already thinking of ways to make it a bit different - piping, rick rack, maybe even some embroidery on the bodice front.

Companies deciding where to locate their manufacturing activities, or whether to source their products in the United States or from overseas, should carefully consider the total costs of shipping. Shipping costs include both the direct and indirect costs of transporting products from their point of origin to their destination market. Expected gains from offshoring can often be erased by long shipping times, rising or fluctuating shipping costs, regulatory fees, and unexpected delays.
Shipping costs occur in both directions. They are a cost to U.S. firms that import, and they also are a cost to firms that purchase exported U.S. products. As this website emphasizes, firms worldwide must take into account numerous costs, including and in addition to shipping, when assessing where to produce or make their purchases. The resurgence in U.S. exports over the past several years provides strong evidence that many foreign customers recognize the value of products with the "Made in the U.S.A." label.
Freight Costs and Shipping Time
Most goods imported into the United States travel by land or sea – less than one percent of the total imports by weight arrive by air. This is due in large part to the substantial cost of air freight, which the World Bank estimates is 12 to 16 times more expensive than ocean freight. Whatever the mode of transportation shipping involves multiple costs, including container fees, packaging, terminal handling, and broker fees. In order to get a complete picture of shipping costs, each of these factors should be taken into account.
In addition to financial costs, shipping goods internationally takes time. For example, goods shipped from China, on average, take around 14 days to reach the West Coast or 30 days to reach the East Coast. If there are any problems with the final goods delivered to the United States, or if a fast resupply becomes necessary, it can be difficult or impossible to receive a new shipment in time.
In order to save on fuel costs, many ocean shipping lines use slow steaming on many of their routes. Pioneered by Maersk Line, slow steaming involves ships sailing at low speeds to reduce the amount of fuel consumed. This reduces costs for the shipping companies, but it increases the amount of time it takes to move goods from one place to another.
Slow steaming has quickly become the preferred method used by ocean shipping lines, both for economic and environmental reasons. A recent study published in the Journal of Maritime Economics and Logistics estimates that “extra slow steaming” is the most beneficial vessel speed, reducing costs for the transport company by 20 percent (which can pass those savings on to the manufacturers whose goods they carry) and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 43 percent. However, extra slow steaming reduces speed by 25 to 40 percent from normal speeds. Slow steaming adds as many as ten extra days in shipping from China to the United States. While reduced shipping costs might be attractive, they come with a price—even longer shipping times.
Long shipping times also play a role in product returns. Any items that must be returned to the factory or point of origin must again travel the two to four weeks required to get there or be shipped by air, which is considerably more expensive than shipping by sea. If a customer requires a new or replacement item right away, this will almost always require costly air freight.
Infrastructure
Before being loaded on a freighter or airplane, goods must be secured in shipping boxes and traveled from the factory to the port. The overall quality of the foreign transportation infrastructure, which includes roads, railroads, ports, and air transportation networks, varies across countries and has a direct bearing on the total time and cost of shipping. To help gauge the relative differences in individual countries' infrastructure it is worthwhile to consult the World Economic Forum's latest Global Competitiveness Report. The report provides data on 144 countries.
A George V wall box (HP18 153D) by W.T. Allen & Co of London. Windmill Street, Brill, Buckinghamshire. 30th April 2017.
I took a week-long intensive class in art therapy. Here are parts of a project we did: Create a self-box that says something about who you and where you are in your life. I chose to make a Beauty Box, to remind me that I'm beautiful on the inside, which is more important than external beauty. Inside I wrote some notes about my strengths.

A VR "Ludlow" wall box. These boxes date from when the postmaster himself was responsible for installing mail boxes, many being made of wood; they were then faced with a metal plate. Many early ones were made by James Ludlow & Sons of Birmingham, hence the name. According to the Letter Box Study Group (LBSG), there are more than 450 locations in the UK and Republic of Ireland where Ludlow post boxes are in use, stored or preserved. Given a total of over 100,000 post boxes in UK, Ludlow boxes represent a tiny proportion.

Box cameras on the market in the 1930s were rugged, inexpensive, and easy to use.
Some had built-in accessories, others had attachments, but consumers liked them all.
Box cameras got their name from their rigid boxy shape, most often rectangular but sometimes a cube. They often had fixed focus, fixed lens opening and limited speeds. They gave the beginner an opportunity to learn the basics of photography such as composition and subject choice, without too much emphasis on complicated technical details.
The most common problem with these Agfa box cameras was difficulty in loading the film. It was hard to keep light from hitting the film and causing fogginess on the edges of the finished print. In spite of this drawback, box cameras were surprisingly easy to use for outdoor and indoor portraits, action shots, landscapes, and silhouettes.

The box open showing some of the items you can put in the box when it is finished.
It has everything you need to paint pictures up to any size when you add your own items.
You can paint 16" x 20" by using a watercolor light weight board.
That ^^^ means no flashy logos or daft graphics please!!
Ok then. First from a series of photos done of the fantastic Jo F from Christchurch. This young lady is largely responsible for the trip in the first place as we crossed paths online approx nine months ago, and I instantly knew we needed to work together. Since then I spent many hours chatting away, realising what a delightfully charming, if off-the-wall young lady she is. So the time passed by, and eventually it happened.
So to say I was aprehensive is an understatement. All built up too much? Much pressure? Over-shadowed by Jo's photographer other half? Was I panicking much?
Hmmm...
Needn't have worried. She made the whole thing very easy, brought her own style, ideas and glamour to the whole thing. Hugely impressed, and she made it all huge fun! Big thumbs up to her, and as you'll see, a lot of different stuff from her to come. :-)

My brother gave me this box of treats when he came back from Japan. It was so elegantly presented, I had to take pictures while I ruined its perfection.
bejeweled jewelry boxes
I have always been drawn to Taipei 101 not for its height, but for the care embedded in its details — a skyscraper that rewards slow looking, one tier at a time.
From a nearby hotel room, these stacked sections always felt like little jewel boxes to me, especially in this edit where the glass catches the light. Even years later, the building still feels deliberate and ornate, carrying a sense of culture and craft that goes beyond measurements or records.
Revisiting this image after watching Alex Honnold’s recent urban free solo ascent gave me a renewed appreciation for vertical spaces — not just as architecture to admire, but as something physical, demanding, and alive. Seeing the tower through the lens of movement and human effort reshaped how I relate to details I’ve loved for years.
I am not a climber, but I have come away with a deeper respect for the discipline, focus, and courage the sport demands — whether at the elite level or in everyday climbing gyms. It’s a reminder that iconic structures aren’t only meant to be seen from the ground; they are also places where design, engineering, and human ambition intersect.
Taipei 101 may no longer be the tallest, but in character, culture, and beauty, it still stands apart.
I came to this image through architecture, but I am now seeing it through climbing.
