Here's the whole table...
This crock used to hold peanuts at the Haberdashery Restaurant in Minneapolis. My mom and I used to go there alot for lunch. When it closed, I got to buy one of the crocks; and now it holds good memories and postage stamps!
The top box is a faux vintage cigar box made by Jenni Bowlin. The bottom two are actual cigar boxes bought at a thrift store. They don't have much in them yet, but they will...
Behind the cigar boxes is an old metal lunchbox for notepads and stuff...
In front is another old metal lunchbox with the lid taken off. This is for misc scraps. Behind it is a box for index and old library card catalog cards...
This is one of my favorite things. It's a box I decorated for a challenge during the old "SiStv" days. It's a tribute to one of my childhood heroes - Pippi Longstocking. I call it my thingfinding box...
Right now it holds playing cards and an ATC stamp. Not sure if it will stay that way or not...
One of my favorite Pippi quotes adorns the sides of the box...
I will keep you posted as I progress with getting this table organized and the containers filled in a way that makes sense.
Thanks so much for visiting today! I wish you a wonderful day!
