Box clever









 Box Clever

Storage space….where and how do you store things in your house?

I have three beautiful desks.

I have three wardrobes and lots of cupboards,and lots of boxes: yet I never seem to have enough storage space,the problem… no built in cupboards,except in the kitchen,I have teo kitchens,one for guests

Boxes have existed since Egyptian times.The Romans had elaborate beautiful boxes to store things.

I miss old telephone boxes,but now they are used for showers.

There so much building in my town,and new apartments rise higher and higher,and apartments become smaller and smaller and box like.I need space,and have a small garden,essential IMO,especially in lockdown!

I usually work in the garden where I have a table,I love fresh air.

Recently ai bought paint for a new project,and found a wine box to store them in. 

Ive always collected pretty boxes,a sewing box,heart shaped hat boxes,for belts and scarves.

Plastic boxes for the freezer and fridge.shoe boxes for shoes.

Flatish boxes on wheels for clothes,that fit into a suitcase for travel.Just lift out the box and it saves unpacking.

Painted toy boxes for friends children too, and a fridge for my friends Christmas present,

The theme is boxes: post music,memes,gifs,traikers,anything connected with boxes

Respect commenters and moderators,keep it light an most of all enjoy!

Rock n Roll music.Any ole way you choose it!










 Rock n  Roll Music

Any ole way you chose it!

Dance the night away.

Chuck Berry invented Rock n Roll in 1957 then came Elvis.

Rock n Rock was entirely new,skillful and exciting.The sixties was a generation who had 

Money and good living after the war.

Some dancing is born from repression,like the Tango or Lambada.

The Tang was invented by Osvaldo Pugliese in Argentina.It was the folk music of the Argentian people.The tango became an Art Form and spread after WW11.

The Tango is filled with poetry,pathos and a loging for freedom,laughter and whispering to admirer. Both Rock and the Tango are Wild and fierce.

The Tango however,originated from slaves.Pugliese was introduced as a man with exacting standards,uncompromising melody,a man of the slums and skyscrapers.often behind bars and under surveillace butt his music resounded across the world.

The Lambarda was totally forbidden, jt again caught the Attention of people

So dance the night away under stars and sunset i to the night..

Plain or decorative?













 Plain or decorative?

Dress up or dress down?

While shopping the other day many people looked plain boring,no color,whereas in the

Capital,many tourists wore colorful clothes and pretty dresses.


Some modern architecture is simple,clean and with well cut lines..love it!

Also love other styles,especially quaint,like the honey pot houses in Pulglia,Italy.

My house is decorative because its old,and modern doesnt look right.

Yes I would love a simple house by the sea,but didnt really have a choice.

Many are trying to fade into the background,not to draw attention..sad but understandable

As so e streets arent 

The sixties were fun.Marilyn and Mae West were fun,and colorful.

I also like Arabic architecture,its romantic!
