A Friday Photo and Wordy Storage Boxes

Today's Friday photo isn't one of my old ones from the archives...no, it's a more recent one :-) Technically it's more than one photo as you can see, but we have a theme going here on Friday so I'll let it slide. Lol. If you've visited me here before, you know that I've been talking about my new storage box and I mentioned that I'm a bit of a storage nerd. We all have our quirks ;-) If you'd like to read those earlier, exciting posts, you can find them here and here. Exciting....Lol.

So today I'm finally getting around to sharing some photos of my new storage box. Never has a simple storage box had such a build-up, but hey, I'm easily amused and I love to share my random things here :-) As you can see it's got lots of writing all over it and that's what drew me to it. I love the message and I love the shape and size of the box. There's something old-fashioned about it that I like. I'm kinda retro sometimes. Also as I think back to the night when I bought it, the atmosphere of that night added to my love for this box. As I mentioned in my past post, we had the chance to have the store virtually all to ourselves that Friday night. It was like being on an adventure and then having a discovery. I didn't go into the store looking for it, but when I found it I knew that I had to have it. My lovely storage box was back in the furthest corner of the store surrounded by so many eclectic, whimsical items. Everything was so individual and that's what I loved :-)

I don't shop a lot, but when I do and I see something that really touches me, I'll buy it if it's reasonably priced. This box only cost me £5 (roughly $7 US). When I saw the words printed on the box they spoke to me, so I had to answer. It has a magnetic closure so everything can stay safe and sound inside. Now I've just got to fill it and that'll be fun to do!
  

 

Well, that's all for today. I hope that you'll come back next week to see what I'm up to next. I've still got to do my blue post, so that'll be coming next week. Also, on Friday I'll have another one of these Friday photo posts.

Have a great weekend! :-)

Weekend Catch Up...Catch Up, Not Ketchup

It's Tuesday as you know and usually I write about what I did over the weekend on Monday, but I got sidetracked yesterday. You don't want to know. Lol.

By the way, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

So back to my weekend catch up post on a Tuesday. Well, it was a rather normal weekend. We did a bit of errand running. We started on Friday with errands a bit and then did the rest on Saturday. Friday was a treat, because we dropped by this store that I love! They have interesting things for the home. It's a place with really unique gifts and there's sort of an eclectic theme to the store. It was really great to stop in on a Friday night an hour before they closed because there were very few people in there and it was easy to have a good look around. It was WONDERFUL! Usually it's so hard to have a good browse on Saturday and Sunday there because everyone else loves the store too. So it was a real treat to have a quiet experience.

I don't think that I've mentioned it here before, but I LOVE storage and I really love interesting boxes that I can use to store things. On Friday night I found a really nice box and it was dirt cheap. That's another good thing about that store...things are so reasonably priced.

I'll take a picture of my new storage box and post it here later this week. So if you're a storage enthusiast like me, please come on back and check out my new find ;-)

The rest of the weekend was spent just around the house doing the customary eating, reading, and watching movies. I'm a fun girl, huh? Lol!

Here's what Sunday dinner looked like. It was a bit of a cheat...not made from scratch at all...no shame in that. ;-) I seasoned it up a bit. It was a frozen prawn chili stir fry and this is a pic of the almost done phase. It was really delicious, especially after I put my seasoning skills to work. I need spice in my life as much as possible! 

After I ate this I was a happy person and the rest of the evening was spent watching television and thinking about my book.

Even though I'm a couple of days late, I hope that you had a good weekend too! :)

Until next time...
