Recently, I received this apple box in the mail from my Grandpa. He is the master of letter writing and package sending.
He sent me two cranberry crates from his father’s grocery store (Dan’s Foods). I’m such a sentimental girl – I love having these pieces from the old store. Of course, he included a letter about what they used the crates for at home. Mostly his mother used them as shelving in the basement.
The boys helped me open the box and were delighted to find this:
I love that Grandpa used these non-conventional packaging materials. A big bouncy ball. 5 hot wheels. Markers galore. Granola bars, cookies, tiny cereal boxes. Even when I was a little girl, he sent packages this way. And it still makes me smile!
Thank you, Grandpa!
what a cute grandpa! i love those old crates. and I put your tutorial up today, I had to condense it in photoshop because there were so many photos, and on blogspot you only get a certain number or something? anyway, hope its okay! I love it!
How lucky! You know I love crates and labels like that, and I bet your boys love all the toys and treats! Sending and receiving letters and packages is one of my very favorite things.
