Since I'll see Emme in person in December, I figured I'd give it to her then. In the meantime, I could use it as a bead storage box. Seemed like a clever plan.
The lunchbox isn't as big as the one I had as a kid. I had a Little House on the Prairie lunchbox, with a matching thermos. I carried it back and forth through at least three grades of school. Laura, Mary, Ma and Pa were my constant lunchtime companions. How about you; do you remember who was on your lunchbox?
It may be smaller than the old style lunch boxes, but it holds a ton. This thing is like the Tardis or a bag of holding (yep, my geeky antecedents are leaking out)! It's incredible how much it holds! Just look:

All of that was packed inside the lunchbox - including my normal travel bead box. It's a full bead studio on the go! I fear that Emme may not get her lunchbox after all. Or maybe I'll have to go out and buy her her own. I think this one's taken.
That little box holds a lot of stuff.
ReplyDeleteWow, my inner child is so jealous, Karen. My sister and I were mostly brown bag kids. I would have gone for a LHOTP box, my sister... probably Barbie!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom was way ahead if the time in the whole "reuse/recycle" thing. So we had lunch boxes through grade school. And woe betide us if I or either of my siblings forgot their lunchbox at school.
DeleteIt's funny how excited I was to graduate to 'grown up' paper bags in Jr. High.
I received a Hello Kitty lunchbox for my birthday last year and promptly declared it my bead travel box. It works great. I take bead projects with me to work and when I visit my mom. I can pack everything I need and not worry about crushing my project like I do when I cram bags into my tote. I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy childhood lunchbox was The Beatles. It was light blue and had the heads of the Fab Four painted on it. I wish I still had it. It was awesome!
A Beatles lunchbox - how fun!
DeleteI bet your Hello Kitty lunchbox/bead carrier is a real conversation starter. :) I love how lightweight yet durable it seems.
How awesome my inner child is working overtime with seeing this!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! And your mention of tardis made me once again thankful for DVR -- I didn't have to choose between the premier of Dr. Who and the University of Alabama game tonight. Geeky beaders, unite!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThe lunch box makes a great travel bead box. Thanks for sharing the idea. Are you sure you are going to want to give this one to your niece?
