Haven't seen one in a million years and yes, they were at every souvenir shop on every vacation we ever went on as a child. My daddy was so good to stop at every single one of them because he knew how much my mama and I loved going thru all the "treasures"...I wish I still had some of the things we bought...little turquoise rings..tea towels...cute little dishes....bj https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327534885194207074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-10985057419871727312016-04-20T11:23:58.742-04:002016-04-20T11:23:58.742-04:00I've never seen one before, so gorgeous and in...I've never seen one before, so gorgeous and interesting.<br />Amalia<br />xo<br />handmade by amaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589172037052603746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-6097462928336300402016-04-20T09:00:40.292-04:002016-04-20T09:00:40.292-04:00GANNER WAS HERE!

I do remember these various boxes from the past but I admit I have never left a message in one of them. I do not know if it was a lack of anything to say or what. LOL.<br /><br />I am sorry I have been missing. We have been gone the past two weekends plus a few days more.

When I was young, in the forties and fifties, there were more than a few working mom's in our neighborhood, and they had little note boxes by their front door.

That was unusual to me. If someone else got on the line while she was on it, she'd start screaming and cussing. I felt sorry for her because she was alone without friends or family, so I talked to her on occasion. I wished I had put a note in there for you, but it took so long to find a box and get it sent, I boxed it up before I thought of it.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-85014762006017720122016-04-18T11:38:16.234-04:002016-04-18T11:38:16.234-04:00I've never seen one of these.
