thanks so much for this Vivian♥! I love the cup and the flakes! I'm gonna store my loose nyanko flakes in this one :D
Yesterday I found this Barbie beauty at Toys “R” Us and these storage boxes at the boutique of a furniture store which I can use for dollie shelves...
... Barbie doll and shelves matching together accidentally 😊
With a bent-knee pose that connotes rapid movement, the Etruscan sun god Usil dashes across breaking waves, borne aloft by wings on his back and boots. Except for his footgear, he is nude. His arms extend away from his muscular body, which twists at the waist to face forward. This splendid figure was cast in one piece together with its support, which comprises stylized waves above a beaded band and a flat Ionic capital that tapers down to the paw of a feline creature that has unusually thick, fleshy pads.
With locally abundant sources of copper and modest amounts of tin, Etruscan metalsmiths excelled in fashioning a variety of beautiful bronze objects, including lamp stands, incense burners, mirrors, vessels, and containers. This remarkable object was one of three identical feet supporting a cista, or lidded chest, typically used by women to store their cosmetics and toiletries. The body of the chest was fashioned from a sheet of hammered bronze, and it was probably incised with intricate illustrations of mythological or other scenes. That part is now lost; only the solid-cast feet that once supported it survive. Its now-missing lid likely had an equally exquisite figural handle that would also have been solid cast.
Etruscan, 500-450 BCE, made in Vulci, Italy.

This faux-wooden box is designed to hold 4 x 6-inch photos, but has never been used for that purpose. Instead, it lives on a table just inside our front door, where it holds small items that we don't want to lose. Sold by Hallmark, it features the artwork of Dutch artist Marjolein Bastin.

That "Carousel" lettering is pretty great.
If you only know these from Don Draper, note that I will be firing up my own 760H for actual use on Thursday.
Decided to frequent Baltimore's Hampdenfest this year. I had kind of ODed on these street festivals after Artscape 2 years ago this July, when I thought I was going to pass out from the heat. These affairs can be very colorful and reveal just how funky Baltimore really is. I think this item is typical Hampden and super kitch. Lift the top containing the teeth, and you have a large storage box. Who would not want this. The best!

I sometimes think I may have too many spare Filofax pages. I use two storage boxes, and they are both rather full.
But I'm sure I will find good use for most of the pages in the future.
GONE - We updated this little vintage box with new paint, casters, and the entire alphabet, A-Z, in a couple of fonts, in case you need to spell “L-O-V-E” to a small-table-needing-loved-one.
There is company in Altstetten, where you see always this big wooden boxes sitting outside the building. I passed the company recently and got this shot from a box destined for South Africa (BHP Billiton) from a water treatment company.
I assume that the wood boxes still will end up in a container, but in this way the machinery is better protected.

Storage (left) and relay (right) boxes. When I first saw it from the opposite side, I thought the storage box was a converted drop box. But from the lip seen about two feet up on this side it's one continuous piece all the way to the bottom of the other side.
I wonder what's stored in here; especially with the relay box being right next door.
BTW, the relay box is used by foot carriers. They depart from the station (post office) with one bag and a carrier in a vehicle drops one or more bags in a relay box for them. They'll finish their first bag and pick up the next one and continue on their route, swapping an empty bag (filled with collected mail) for a full one to be delivered.
I took this Photograph in May 1990 at the Liberty Park Car Show in Jersey City, New Jersey. It shows a mid Fifties Ford Ranchero with a Continental Kit (aka: Peppermint Twist), right next to the 1956 Mercury shown in the previous photograph. The Show was held near the former Central Railroad of New Jersey (aka: CNJ, aka: Jersey Central) Train Shed.
Disclaimer: These photos were taken May 1990 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35 mm SLR with Color Print Film, when I was just learning photograph, so it is very soft & grainy. I scanned the Negative, and used Photoshop Elements™ to correct the Exposure and Saturation to generate the Digital Digital Image, presented here on flickr™.

This Beautiful Pallet Box went through a few morphs before it became the final project. My wife wanted a box "about the size of a laptop" and I came up with an approximate 1' square for the dimensions. However, you can do this project into any size you need.
How I made this Pallet Box:
First, I had to make the sides. I made them from some very rough oak boards that I ripped down to size, then glued and clamped together. I hand planed and sanded them when they were dry. Two of the sides were a little shorter; the same dimension as the thickness of the lid. I used this design to make the lid sit evenly with the sides. I wanted it to be a uniform, flush surface.
Then I built the box frame. I made it from 1"x 1" square oak strips cut from oak stringers. I carved the handle from a 4" x 4" oak pallet block. I attached it to the lid with two #8 1 1/2" screws. I glued the sides on and let them dry. I gave the project a final sanding after gluing the sides to the box to remove any excess glue and to smooth out any edges that splinter during the process.
My wife prefers the natural look of the wood without any treatment, but I experimented a bit. I applied a bit of olive oil to a sample piece and loved the look. But I did try a sample of olive oil and it looked great. My next project will be treated with boiled linseed oil.
This project is very adaptable. You could cut in handle holes, or you could install handles externally for portability. You don't have to carve the handle; you can repurpose something or buy a commercially-available handle to suit your needs and style. I liked the organic feel of this project, including the hand-carved handle, but it is a fun, flexible design!
I can't usually hear the small birds sing but I could hear this little guy calling louder than normal. As I walked out of the garage he was anxiously fluttering around on the drive outside the garage door and then flew up into the Cypress tree along the driveway. The reason for his excitement and anxiety is his mate is sitting on four eggs in a nest in a storage box in the garage. The eggs are due to hatch any day now so we are all being careful not to get her upset and also making sure no one closes the garage door all the way during the day. The whole family has adopted the little Wren family and is excited to see when the eggs hatch. My daughter and her family will not get to see the whole experience since they will be leaving on vacation on June 1st but I will try to make a couple of videos for them to see. Not taking photos of the expectant mother right now, do not want to make her nervous.
