I have always wished I were a better antique shopper. My brother has a great selection of antique shops in the town he lives in, so we did a little shopping on my trip to visit him last weekend.

I found these cool boxes, which turn out to be perfect sizes to store my art card collection and a few art supplies.

I also found this antique wooden box that was originally used for cheese packaging.

Both boxes were in good condition, on sale, and the perfect size for holding my art cards and art supplies. I’m not a big collector of antiques or any kind of knick-knack stuff. So it’s nice to find a few treasures now and then that I can put to good use.
