UNIQUE TOOL BOX AND A TOUCH OF FALL

This is another one of those 'shopping from the garage' posts.  This unique little tool box came from an estate sale a couple of years ago.  It is actually three boxes in one.

 It functions because of this unusual hinge.

 Opening the lid reveals the first box; then that box becomes the lid for the second box; and, finally, the second box becomes the lid for the third box.

 What a treasure -- they just don't make packaging like that anymore!

By the way, this is the only touch of Fall decorating I've done around here this year.  Just lazy, I guess, but I'm sure enjoying the cool weather!

I will be linking up to the following blogs this week for their always entertaining parties.

SHOPPING THE GARAGE, PART TWO

 Bob often brings me something from the garage; and asks if I want it, or should he just sell it?  Recently, that something was this wooden box that he bought at a yard sale for $2.  I usually  bring it in the house to give it an audition, and then decide later if I want to keep it.

Boxes like this make great storage.  

They often have wonderful details and great character.

 The problem is where do I put another box that is storing magazines that I probably should be throwing away?  

What do you think?  Should I 'love it or list it'?

I'm linking to the following blog parties.  Please check them out for lots of inspiration.
