New Treasure

Have I mentioned how much I love boxes and containers? Especially old ones, and especially old ones that have their paint worn off.
I'm missing the gene that allows you to wander for hours through flea markets and antique malls. I wish I had it...I love the treasures that my friends with the gene find. But I do have Brigid at Missouri Mouse in St. Paul who seems to have the exact same taste as me. I started a big project this morning (painting the garage) and after I got two sides done, I rewarded myself with a trip to see her. This red tin box has been in her booth for a few months, but I think I didn't grab it earlier because I had grabbed other treasures. Nonetheless, today was its day. It could be a new tool box, a cash box for a booth at an alt-craft sale or ??? They always find a use for themselves in my house.
