You could use it for specialty papers too, though it looks like it would take up a lot of space.<br /><br />I am thinking about ordering some soap from you. Are any of them especially good for dry skin? DH's skin has gotten terrible since the latest chemo regimen, and I would like to get him some nice soaps for the shower.

I don't know where the birds come from after I cut the grass :-)<br /><br />Your state seems to specialise in dilapidation and things about to fall down :-)<br /><br />My interest with trains definitely started in the local park when we used to run from the swings to the fence that backed onto the then freight railway. It was the thunderous noise from about 1km away that was the attraction. It's strange that most of these locomotives are scrapped or retired, but I still occasionally chase the surviving examples for the ride in preservation at various diesel galas on a national scale.J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-17837694107357033382014-06-21T13:40:48.993-05:002014-06-21T13:40:48.993-05:00That gas can is so retro, I love it.

The tray is definitely for office use (I used to have one where I worked in a lawyer's office). Letterheads, carbon paper, onion skin ... there used to be different coloured onion skin paper to be filed in different locations (before computers of course). My husband made something similar just recently for stacking sheets of sandpaper in his workshop.

Crafters might like it for colored papers. I'm sure a school teacher would have some good uses for it, too.<br /><br />Actually, I'm more fascinated by the lovely grain in the table top on which the wooden box is sitting. :)<br /><br />Thanks for your visit and comment on my RT post.<br /><br />~LindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-9972505307357378332014-06-17T16:15:45.110-05:002014-06-17T16:15:45.110-05:00I love the title of your blog. any special meanin...I love the title of your blog. any special meaning?

Love the letterhead tray - I am always looking for ways to store scrapbook paper and bits of this and that. That would be great for that - or sheets of pressed flowers or even large black and white photos, or magazines. It would look great painted cream or some other soft color. I could have fun with that!
