This afternoon, I had a little time to kill, so I popped into my local Value Village store. I bought this terrific shoe shine box. The roto shine shoe buffer was missing, but I was happy enough with the wooden box for $4.99. We're always looking for a place to put the boot polish and shoe brushes. Now we have a place. Strangely enough, my dad used to work for Ronson when I was a child. We had a Ronson blender for years and years.
I like the little foot rest on the top. They'd never make a wooden box to hold an appliance anymore.
In the box fit the other things I bought: a book on mountain goats... I know, I know. Curb your enthusiasm. "MOUNTAIN GOATS - YES!!!!"
And this...
Metal shoe savers. Sweet.
You 'Shoe' had a good time today...couldn't resist!! Love the shoe box, my dad had one like that, I think my brother got it.

That box is so much fun! My mother is a sucker for a wooden box and is always checking them out no matter where we are.

Oh my gosh, Betty. I never win awards. I was always the loser at school politely clapping while the Muffy Teppermans of the school cleaned up, so thank you very much for this. I will go to the link immediately. Woo-hoo! You like me, you really like me!
