There's a woodburning kit somewhere around here should I get the urge (and the painted flowers you showed just might be inspiring me this spring, Jeri). I remember how hot my fingers would get from holding the tool and needing frequent breaks.

I remember my father having a collection of very old boxes dating way back in the 1900s, and he used those for his tools. I always loved them since they did have an antique look with great hinges. Your collection is impressive, and what better way to store your threads and other goodies! I love to just open my tin or cardboard boxes and rummage through my trinkets that I enjoy using if I make an art piece.<br /><br />Well my friend, spring is coming here, finally. Melting is going on here and now we just wait. HAVE FUN!

Very interesting. I think they were marketed to children before the time we began putting warning labels on things like "do not hold the wrong end of a chainsaw". If you Google "obvious warning labels" you'll get quite a chuckle out of some of the lawyer-written warning labels!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.com
