Labor of Love

Friday, September 3, 2010

While antiquing a couple of years ago, I found this small round box. It looked interesting and I opened it up. Really, I was taught better....not to touch everything, but I just couldn't help myself.

Inside nestled were three strawberry emerys. I knew right then that the price didn't matter. I had to purchase this small emery box. Luckily it didn't cost an arm and a leg.

My husband Dave has been working on a lathe in the garage for the past year making the wooden cupcake bases. I asked him if he thought he could make the emery box too. He made a couple practice ones. He had to stop because we ran out of wood and had to wait for some lumber to dry at the mill.

His practice ones have been sitting in my cabinet for a couple of months. This morning I painted and waxed one of them. "Holy Cow!" I love how it turned out. (I might move Dave's bed out into the garage. It's definitely where he needs to be.)

I made this small acorn emery for the box....perfect for autumn. Our oak trees have the best acorn tops!

So to celebrate labors of love....and Labor Day....here's the deal.

Leave a comment and I will choose one using the random number generator. I only have one to give away....wish there were more! I will have to see if I can get him back out in the garage!
Please enter only once.

Contest ends on Labor Day! Good luck to you all.

Until later

Alma

  8. OH what beautiful boxes and such a pretty acorn hat! I love acorns have planted a few on the property but they take many years I have found to actually form acorns! So I am waiting patiently.

    Your husbands box is so close to the one you found, I think he is going to find himself very busy ;0

    Now to cross my fingers and hope I am the lucky one.

  173. Another really sweet item. Love the little box. We are having a little get-together tomorrow to make acorns, etc.

    This box would be perfect for some of our small projects.
