My Soap Box

If you saw my last post, you know that Cigar Man and I

just made some changes to our kitchen.

If you’ve haven’t seen the outcome, please do come in by clicking here.

But the one thing I could never change is my

“Good-Will Soap Box”.

I found my box at a local antique mall 30 years ago.

It was love at first sight!

As a stay-at-home mom, I didn’t have a lot of extra money

to “throw away” on this homemade box with a price tag of $115

so I put it on lay away until I could bring it home.

I loved and still do the

patina of the wood,

the crude handles,

and the wording stamped on the side.

What do I use my box for?

Well, for recipes, of course!

For 30 years, my box has held main course recipes in the top left drawer,

and vegetable recipes in the drawer to the right, cookies a few drawers down and so on.

Maybe you’ve got a treasure in your home that you could never do without?
