At the last sale, in the garage, I saw the top piece of some wood. I asked my husband, what is that?
Oh, I saw him pull this box out, and I said, I want it! I want it!
We went up to the checkout, and she said, oh, that is a dollar!!
In the words of Marty....YIP SKIP!!
Hubby said, well, the blogasphere is going to like this!!
Do you see that writing? Oh my goodness!!
Look at the dovetailing (I think that is what it is called)...
Be still my beating heart....I am IN LOVE!
This is where it is sitting on our patio.
Sorta across from our bistro table.....see the candlelier? Another sale find!!
While I am at it....I got this sunflower stepping stone a while back for 50 cents...
It was all faded....
Went and bought paint....sealed it....and
Oh, I love estate sales!!

That is a great bargain! Love your patio - everything looks wonderful. Have a nice, safe weekend.
You redeemed a real treasure!!! Good job on repainting your sunflower! I have some things I need to spruce up with some paint. I can just 'see' y'all at that little bistro table!
I love your box, you are right, it is definitel Yip-Skip!!! What a great find and for $1. Love the chandy too. Hugs, Marty
You are going to have so much fun playing around with this box every season, every holiday! What a wonderful find! Love the sunflower! :)

And I thought my "Eat Raisins" crate was cool. It's not dovetailed. Very neat find.
That is huge! Great deal and a dollar! Are you kidding me. Estate sales usually so over price everything.
You got an amazing deal on the box and it's awesome!!! Way to go, girl! Looks great the way you've decorated with it, too - enjoy!
That box! Ohhhhh that box!

Eeek, SCORE! It's a wonderful crate! LOVE IT!!!!
I LOVE estate sales too! I just love the thrill of the hunt for treasures!
Warmly,

I LOVE it! What a find. I've been looking for boxes and recently found one in a 'funny' little store. When I said I wanted it the shop owner said, 'You're kidding - that old thing?'

You've been finding some beautiful things. Lovethe box, the candlelier, and that you have them on the patio! Just too cute!
My knees are weak with envy over that OUTSTANDING bargain you snagged for one dollar. OMG...you win the "pickers award" of the week! I LOVE old boxes..in fact, most of my display items I use for my craft shows/flea markets are old boxes...and customers are always wanting to buy them! :) You put yours to great use already, Ceekay, and I know you will keep it out year round.....changing the decor and use of that wonderful find!
Love your sunflower, too!! I haven't found anything at any of the sales I've been to lately. Hope that luck improves soon!
Have a greaat holiday weekend. L, Dana

What a find! I buy every dove-tailed box I run across - they're just so interesting and versatile. Great job! -- Jan
Great box ... I believe this is called a finger or comb joint. Looks so nice on your lovely porch.
You have a great eye for treasures.

I love your crate. What a great deal you found and you've created a lovely vignette! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!
How lucky for you to find this box. AND, your decorating with it is adorable. I think I used to have one of those stepping stones. Have a great week!
