For the "Looking close... on Friday!" group theme of "old boxes".
No idea about the age of this little rather rusty tin box.
Its a nearly 3.5cm sized cube, so its pretty small.
The lid pulls off but if there were any contents they are long gone.
I think the box was an advertising item produced for the biscuit makers 'Huntley & Palmers' in Reading England The four sides and the top list a different type of biscuit, so I can't imagine that it ever contained any of them.
The box was given to me several years ago as a Birthday present and is treasured as such.
A quick hand-held photograph.

This looked like a pebble or clump of sargassum or a broken piece of coral ... and then it moved! This tiny crab (about 4 cm across) has a face that "only a mother could love". But watching it slide across the sand was super fun, and gave a unique opportunity to isolate the crab from its surroundings - if you find them (and we have seen only a few before), they are usually tucked under rocks or deep inside cracks, well out of photo reach.
There are many box crab species. I will go with "yellow box crab", but if you are more confident of the species id, let me know!
Taken with my "wide angle" lens. (The "eternal" debate before each dive - wide angle or macro?) Fortunately, at 70mm I was able to get close enough to get the image.
Hit "z" twice for a close up view of that lovely face.
Chocolate mudcake gift box style. The cake didn't come out as high - this is 3''. The gift box cakes tend to look better as a 4'' height
I've used Pearl Lustre Spray for the silver & gold.
Used the Sony FE 85mm F1.8 on the Zf via the Viltrox EZ adapter. works fine. 😊

Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes
Little boxes
Little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
And the people in the houses all go to the university
And they all get put in boxes, little boxes all the same
And there's doctors and there's lawyers
And business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martini dry
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
And they all get put in boxes, and they all come out the same
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
And they all get put in boxes, little boxes all the same
There's a green one, and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
This pretty little pill box was a gift from a friend in Australia. The lid is firmly 'closed' to keep the pills safe inside.

The Plausible Box from a Starbucks coffee bag.
Finished a bag of coffee beans this morning and I chucked it out. But then I felt bad -- it was made of some interesting laminate material and the design work showed some effort. (Red silhouette Vespa, yeah, that takes effort.) So, I ripped it apart and cleaned it up and made a box out of it. Folds not so great -- you really have to crease it. But I figure it's very waterproof.
I was going to go inside and leave it on a table, but I find that Starbucks has this jive-ass policy of not allowing photographs inside their cafés and I didn't want to freak anybody out. Instead, I stuck the box on the windowsill.
The Jewel Box is a greenhouse located in Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri. It now serves as a public horticultural facility and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designed by architect William C. E. Becker and built in 1936 by the Robert Paulus Construction Company.
These cases take their name from the virgin Roman goddess of fire, home, hearth and family. Usually Vesta was depicted as the fire in her temple. Only Vestals (her priestesses) were allowed into her temple. Her association with fire made her name the natural choice for British companies who manufactured matches.
Apparently this bag type is called a 'box pouch'. I've been looking at various tutorials, youtube videos and pictures to see what the basic idea is and how I can make my own little changes. I particularly love the strap on one side, tab on the other idea. On this bag I made the tab wider, just because. I decided that a narrow tab is the way to go.
This bag is a gift for someone who loves green and chartreuse. Both fabrics are from the Geogram fabric line by Samarra Khaja. I was careful to line up the print and quilting along the zipper edge.
Aren't these fabrics fabulous? I love the different shades of green- even the grey is on the green side when you look at it carefully. So I picked a green background to go with it, of course.
I finished this bag just in time for 'Different Shades of Green' in the "Looking Close...on Friday!" group. Woot!
NJT F40PH-2CAT 4119 leads Montclair-Boonton Line train 1001 into the station stop at Boonton after passing the DL&W-built one that's now a restaurant.
On Monday 3/2/2025, 4116s (Aurizon shuttle) is seen approaching the expressway overpass at Bolivar (Adelaide) with 2214 in charge of 16 wagons.
This box turtle had been digging nests, plus it had gotten a little too cold so it was apparently sleeping.

Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same
And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same
And there's doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same...........
