So on the way back home I stopped of at Books and Bygones in Hayes to have a mooch.
I picked up these books
now I have a nice little selection and have to contemplate what to do with them, I have just bought Altered Book Workshop by Bev Brazelton - so with her inspiration and that precious commodity TIME I shall try and create a piece.
As I left with my books I spotted this wonderful hinged box with handle, and you know how it is I could hear it say "buy me, buy me" - so I walked back into the shop with it and said to the owner "how much do you want for this?"
My money came out of my purse faster than you can say "bargain" because I paid the princely sum of £1......oh joy of joys, I am one happy bunny I can tell you.
Once I have finished my current swaps etc. I shall think of what to do with this box to make it more special...

What a wonderful day of treasure hunting you had!
I can't wait to see what you do with the case!

Could it be waiting to be a shrine?

You know that box looks FANTASTIC. The books too. I think I'd have to use that box for a 'guy' gift. It just looks all masculine. Very cool find. Now I have to go to the thrift store tomorrow and look for interesting rubber soled shoes, books and boxes LOL
