super cute metal lunch boxes

I don't know how many of you know that I have a cute, little metal lunch box collection. Most of them are newer and I just have found them or been given them over the last few years because I really like them. Recently, however, I have added two really awesome older lunch boxes.

The first is a Mickey Mouse and gang lunch box (from around 1969!) that is rounded on the top and looks like they are on a fire truck. This used to be my mom's pottery tool box, but she gave it up under pressure from my grandma. It is so cute....don't you think?

My newest addition is this Muppet Babies lunch box from 1985. I loved the Muppet Babies. My mom found this lunch box at a antique store in John Day, Oregon (of all places!) Tracey and I have been having fun singing the theme song over the last few days...come on...you know it...

Yes, Nanny.

Anyway. I love it! Thanks Mom!

Spring Break at Tracey's...yes that is a lot of snow!

Ok. This post was originally written at Tracey's, but I was having problems posting and I am just getting settled back in at home from the rest of my spring vacation (more on that later), so here it is...

Hello to all from Moscow, Idaho. Home of Tracey. I am so lucky to be on spring break for all of this week and three days of next week. All of this time off gives me a great chance to travel around the country. I am at Tracey's house right now, while she is at work. I will stay here until tomorrow when I return home just in time to leave for Portland by way of Bend.

Anyway. I just wanted to share a little of Tracey with you. You all know she is obsessed with pirates and skull and cross bone, right? Take a look at the slide show to the right! By the way....Tracey painted those two teal and brown skull and crossbones. Talent, I tell you!
