I love old boxes and crates with writing.

This is a newer version of a metal wrapped tool tote.  It would be real easy to make an old version of this.  I love the branch handle.

This truck is a bit worse for wear but I still love it.  Some details are still in fair shape, I love this little winter girl. 

 

I’ll be playing over at these websites….

    I love fabulous old wooden boxes and trunks too! I bought two antique wooden apple crates a few years ago at the apple farms. I wish I had gotten more. I use them for many different things! Looks cooooldy there. It is cold here too!!

    kAREN.
    You have so many interesting things. I would like to come over and have a closer look. I have one old trunk, always wonder where its been and with who. People really should leave us some information for heaven sakes.

    I'm a fan of old crates and trunks too. But don;t have any. Still looking but not a lot around where I live.

    I love yellow...send it to me! LOL!
    I like crates and containers too as I'm a "practical" collector....I like things to be useful.
    You have a gorgeous collection of them!

    I love your collection of boxes. What is it about them? I can't seem to pass them up either. Of course I love those doorknobs peeking out of the top too.
