I hope no one is too disappointed to realize that today’s post is nothing more than a thinly veiled sales pitch. Well … for that matter it’s not really even veiled at all. It just is a sale pitch.
Remember the tool box that I shared back in October?
It was snatched up right away by one of my local readers. There were a couple of additional readers who expressed interest in buying it, but they were too late.
However, I just happened to have more toolboxes on hand, so I told the 2nd interested party that I would paint another one for her.
As you can see, it’s not exactly the same. I used some different sections of the IOD Label Ephemera transfer on this one. But it’s very similar in style.
I also used a different color on the inside of this one.
This time I used Dixie Belle’s Flamingo to add a pop of color to the interior. Last time I used Peony.
Once again I also lined the bottom using one of re.design by prima’s decoupage tissue papers.
So, you must be wondering at this point, why is Q calling this a sales pitch when she already has a buyer lined up for it?
Well, my buyer didn’t follow through. I’ve reached out to her a few times but, as you can see, I still have the toolbox. I’m not complaining, I know full well that people get busy, life gets crazy, etc. The best laid plans and all … especially these days with COVID running rampant.
But I think it’s time for me to stop beating a dead horse, move on, and see if someone else wants to purchase it.
The price is $38 and the toolbox is 20.25″ wide x 8.5″ deep by 9.75″ tall. Quick update: I do have a buyer!
As you all know, I don’t like to ship things (I’m just not set up for it and so far haven’t found that I need to be) so the potential buyer will have to be a local who can pick it up. If interested, you can email me at qisforquandie@gmail.com, or leave a comment here on the blog. First come, first served.
If there aren’t any takers, it will go in the pile of things I’m putting together for the next time I take a load of items to the shop that sells things for me, Reclaiming Beautiful in Stillwater, MN. I’m sure that eventually this piece will end up going to a good home!
I love your tool boxes! Sad that I don’t live closer. I would snatch this one up! 😊

I am curious as to how people use these. Can anyone share what they do with theirs, or ideas of how they would use one!?

Hopefully some other readers will share as well, but speaking for myself … I have 3 of them. I keep all of my furniture waxes in one (a larger one) and I keep scrapbooking supplies in another larger one. Then I have a smaller one that contains my hot glue guns (2) and the extra glue. I think they are particularly handy for crafting supplies of all kinds!

Well I LOVE your toolboxes Miss Quandie………lucky is the admirer of your work who lives close by! Have you ever worked on a PLASTIC toolbox? They’re the only kind to be found around here! Could they possibly have the same charm?

Well, I can’t say that I have ever been drawn to a plastic one. I’m not sure they would be quite the same 😉
