"Tell me more about this 'birthday' thing, Pawpaw.. Cake? Wrapping paper?"
"Oooooo.....BOXES..?! "
Freddy Ray is one year old today. Hard to believe, but true. He is a blessing in all of our lives, and we all hope to be blessings in his.
Someday, he will widen the family circle and bless the life of some girl who hasn't even been born yet.. Such is the way of the world, and God's Plan for it, for us, for him, and for that lucky little girl, whose heart will be moved when they meet.
But for now, ripping wrapping paper, smashing cake, and playing with the boxes is enough. Happy Birthday, Frederick. We love you!
Resolved: that in 2015 more objects shall leave this house than enter it, primarily through donations of useful (but no longer used) things to charities. (I notice that today we are donating 5 boxes and a chair - and a small box is arriving. At least the balance is in the right direction.)
Our Daily Challenge: RESOLUTIONS
Over the past few days Puss has taken up residence in the shipping box that the 1/24 scale DMS arrived in.
Here she is enjoying a chicken lunch.
Storage boxes that my daughter and I created using very inexpensive plastic containers, some fabric, a little thought, and some ribbon! :) They work great and look even better!
Bristlecone Pine jewelry boxes
These rustic-appearing beautiful jewelry boxes (or desk organizers!) are made from Bristle Cone Pine that was burned over by a forest fire in the 1880's. Bristle Cone Pine grows high in the Rocky Mountains at 8000 feet and over, and is the oldest living thing in the world. These boxes are made from trees that are 200 to 1000 years old.
The boxes are hand made in the San Luis Valley of Southern Colorado, US, and finished with a fine Danish oil.
You can find the Bristlecone Pine jewelry boxes at

The Tuck Box was constructed by designer-builder Hugh Comstock in 1927, either as his office or in response to his wife's hobby of making "Otsy-Totsy" dolls. It was first used as a restaurant in the early 1930's and was named "Sally's". The building just to the rear was also built by Comstock in 1929 and was used as a garden shop, and much later as The Tuck Box Gift Shop. The kiosk next to the patio gate was added in 1931.
In the early 1940's, two sisters from England started the small tea room which they named The Tuck Box. After operating the restaurant for eight years, Mrs. Bumbridge and Mrs. Watson, sold to another British couple, John and Elsie Grandfield. Elsie's delicious recipes have had the greatest and most lasting impact on The Tuck Box. Many are still in use today.
In 1948, the Grandfields hired young Lucille Pinkston who eventually bought the restaurant in 1960. By 1964, Lucille had become Mrs. Glenn Berry and the couple also bought the property. In 1976, Glenn and Lucille sold the property and business to another long-time employee, Aleen Hillbun and her husband Harvey, thus ending Lucille's twenty-six years of association with and devotion to The Tuck Box English Tea Room.
Many members of the Hillbun family helped in the restaurant and the neighboring gift shop in the ensuing years. After her husband, Harvey, passed away in 1987, Aleen withdrew from the business. Her sister, Phyllis Yelusich, saved the day and took over full management of the restaurant. The Tuck Box Gift Shop continued to survive until it was closed in November, 1996. Today, the delicious preserves, scone mix, whole grain cereal, tea and other items are available for purchase at The Tuck Box or by mail order.
On Thanksgiving Day, November 28,1996, ownership of both the property and The Tuck Box English Tea Room was assumed by Zigmont J. LeTowt and his wife, Dianne. Jody (known by his middle name) and Dianne have been residents of Carmel since the early 1960's. They owned and operated Le Bistro…from 1969 until May, 1997. Sadly, Dianne passed away in May, 2002. In late 2003, their older son Jeffrey assumed operation of the Tuck Box. Jeff was born and raised in Carmel. He graduated from Colorado State University in 1993 with a degree in resort management. He will strive to maintain the esprit that has made The Tuck Box a Carmel tradition for over sixty years.

I made these as a gift for some friends of mine in Montreal Canada. They are custom shoe boxes made to look like large books.
Trusty old Gardner 6LX and RV90 gearbox in the back of 573. Usually very reliable, although the mitre box has thrown a tantrum which is being attended to.
Fitting the original blind box back in. When Hanover fitted the LED's they also ripped all the dest lights out. So new light unit's have been fitted. Here seen on the floor being wired up.

I ate the contents of this confectionary box in 80's or early 90's, but kept the beautiful box. It now contains old love letters and pictures of exes. My father's got it from some visiting japanese businessmen. It's one of the earlyest things I remember having sparked my interest in Japan.
I made this box by hand and then used traditional carving tools to hand carve it . The box design based on a medieval reliquary .The carving is a traditional chip carving design . The cool thing about this type of carving is it's done with a single knife . It's made from poplar wood not that great a wood . Usually hidden or stained , or painted . I think it turned out all right ,but not my favorite .
