Drawer # 4 Does Thanksgiving

E has one of her best friends from school joining us for Thanksgiving today so I made them this portable beverage box. I'm sure it will go from room to room as the day progresses, but for now it fits snug as a bug in a rug atop my time clock. Looks like they were made for each other.

OK, I'm doing the drawers out of order. Would you really expect anything different from me? I chose this on because the patina of the drawer and the color of the handle fit nicely with my Thanksgiving color way.

What's inside the box? All the fixings for two thirsty girls.

Yet another look.

Let me see...we have ice cubes in a French tulip bucket.

Strawberries in a sherbert dish.

I love how the dominoes on the time clock outline the drawer. Sometimes things just work. Destiny.

It's noon now and the princess is still sleeping. Ahh, the life of a teenager. I think she will like her boxed beverages if she ever gets out of bed.

This project was cooked up with love for my darling daughter Elizabeth. The story goes like this. My broth-in-law only serves one kind of wine at Thanksgiving and it comes in a box. When it seems to be empty he removes the bladder and squeezes out every last drop. Hmmm...that reminds me of a camping trip in Oronoco. Sorry, just got off track for a moment. Any loo hoo, he has quite the love affair with Franzia. Because of this we fondly nicknamed him Uncle Box Wine Wayne. Apparently E at the age of three was a very good listener. She was also very articulate and polite. When we arrived for Thanksgiving thst year she walked up to Wayne, shook his hand, and said "Hello, Uncle Box Wine Wayne. thank you for having us for Thanksgiving."  Out of the mouths of babes. Wayne was unaware of his nickname prior to that moment. I thought he might be upset, but no...he was beaming with pride. In honor of this I have put E's beverages in in a box...JUNKMARKET Style.

I'm sure Elizabeth and her friend enjoyed every little bit of their beverage center (and strawberries too...yummy). I love the tulip bucket - where do you find this stuff?? :)

So well done....!

MimiToria writes: Another great idea for boxes, and supplied with a fun story to go with it. A fun way to serve up drinks, for sure, and unusual items you use to display them in.
Hope your Thanksgiving was great!
