Look what I got today...

... for free in cigar shop!

There's nothing I have to change about it! The front opens in two parts up and down and then it's like a little chest with 4 drawers, perfect for storing ready made bracelets, chains and leathers!

Fun! And a very interesting storage piece as well.

Ooh that's wonderful.

Now, where will you keep your cigars?

Lucky you!

What a lovely box

Perfect size!

Great box !

Yes, honestly! My very first storage box is also from that shop, DH an I both don't smoke, I just walked in that shop and asked for empty boxes ! I got them for free and that's what hubby made from it:

Today I hoped for another one like this, but he had none in massive wood, just the flimsy ones. Instead I got the drawer style (not that I complain) !

SCORE!!

That is so cool! Yay you

Before I got my Beadboxman box I had read that that was a good way to get the boxes but I couldn't find any cigar shops!

How are the mermaids on your first box?!? I love them!

Oooo, me likey

A real cool box.

LOVE IT............great box!

Really good cigar box sometimes it pays to be inventive

That's a great find. Nothing I like better than a great deal.

very cool!

My brother and dad are cigar smokers but sadly they recently threw out a lot of old boxes :-(

Wow, what a peach!

What a great find. I am always on the look out for affordable storage. I am too cheap to pay 500 pounds for a proper Troll villa.

Wow, that's just perfect for storing! Does it have that 'old' smell?

very nice

With the first box even my beads smelled of tobacco!

I always look at the price of that and say to myself "Just think of all the beads I could buy for £500!"

Come to think of it....and expense has me thinking of how many beads I could buy for that....like the repair bill on my car last month!
