Shaker Boxes


 my family has been in love with 
Shaker Boxes for as long as I can remember
my mother collected
my sister and her husband collect
I collect



most of mine are a wood stain finish
maybe 8 or so are painted
hmmm...my stash is a few dozen or so
I've even given a few away
to said sister and husband




it's wonderful to see them being used with needlework
all the above images are LeHay's
 
my BIL has always planned on making Shaker Boxes
he's finishing up a cedar lined closet now
fingers crossed...


vintage boxes found on Pinterest
 
 *****

so it's Day 4 of my low carb-no sugar eating
feeling better
but know there is far more to my eating 
than just lack of willpower



it's called Binge Eating Disorder


I am working on
 finding professional help locally
time to kick this once and for all!

Oh, Kelley, you made me look!! Those boxes are amazing. Thank goodness LeHay's is out of stock. I love that berry basket and think it should come live at my house! LOL

I definitely have an issue of eating when I am depressed and/or stressed. That has been my life for the last six years. I know better, I tell myself that I know better, then just pop that ice cream out of the freezer and get a bowl. Sigh. I've never been thin, but at my age, it's getting harder and harder to hold steady.

I love the colors and stains on their boxes.
I tend to over eat at times and I pay for it, my stomach blows up like a balloon and it makes me feel horrid and I swear I won't eat so much again, and then I forget;)

I have piggy disorder. No reason other than I like it, I want it, I will keep eating it. Hope your new plan works well for you.

You and me too!
