#SundayPixBox I have a third — my most favourite, but I can’t find it at the moment. It’s about 80-90 years old, belonged to my grandmother who brought it over from India/Burma. The lid is one piece of wood but carved as a realistic 3D snake 🐍 with red glass eyes. I shall keep looking.

#SundayPixBox box 2: a recent acquisition, small but lovely, which came with some ear cuffs I ordered. (There were two bee boxes, but Melyn 🐕 chewed up the other one 😢)

Very late to #SundayPixBox I’m afraid — busy with work Sunday and yesterday, which was nice £££s. And typical of me, given I’d suggested it 🙄
This is a gorgeous, simple, tactile box made of thuya wood (Moroccan), which a friend gave me. Delicious to roll and stroke in your hands, smells lovely too.

A brass cigarette box from the days when people would have these on their desk, sideboard or coffee table and offer them to guests. It’s about 150mm x 100mm x 50mm (6” x 4” x 2”) it’s sitting on a dark wood surface in front of the TV at my friend’s house. I bought it from an auction in Bridgnorth. In a lot called ‘a box of sundries’ there were some straight razors in there amongst other things.

Back in the sun and distant past when I was misspending my youth, when my friend & myself were living together (in the biblical sense) it used to sit on the coffee table in the living room with ‘The doin’s’ in. The things you need to make a reefer along with the Hashish.

It’s a fond souvenir of that time.

The same box, but open. It is lined with wood, probably cedar. It divided in two from front to back. Each compartment as big as a cigarette. There is an interesting pebble in it now. In the lid there is a piece of paper stuck in with masking tape. It reads:
“Always worry
Always fear
The DS men
are always near!

and big brother watching”

Behind that there is a newspaper cutting with the headline:
“Under cover pot”

Friend and I used to work gigs at The Poly’ so would be out from dinner time to late @darkdwarf was kind enough to walk the dog we had at the time. One night we came back from work and the note had appeared in the lid of the tin. The cutting was taken from the local paper as it was about Marijuana. Sadly I didn’t read the cutting when I photographed it. I’ll do that next weekend when I’m back there.

A tea chest being used as a side table, holding a small money plant, a glass lamp with a glass globe top, and a watercolour painting of irises. The chest is upside down, with an MDF lid painted black. There’s stuff tidied away in the chest.

A cheese box (very large, like “wheel of cheese” diameter) next to a mustard coloured metal trunk which is a bit battered. (The cheese box holds scarves and gloves, and the trunk holds towels and bedding.)
