Check out this sweet box I got at the Fremont antique market a few weeks ago. I think it was used as a rolodex. I would have suspected it was a recipe box if not for the “Mc” tab next to the “M” tab. ( Unfortunately, it’s missing the letters V thru Z. Whoops. )

I picked up this box because it’s so cute and rustic that I just have to use it for something. And I totally just noticed the embossed logo of the lady in a dress at a filing cabinet. How quaint!

Maybe it would be a neat addition to the guestbook table. I could print up some cards and have the guests write notes and draw pictures on them, then have them file the cards in the box by their last name to keep the cards from piling up on the table.

I thought about using the box as storage for escort cards but it’d just have to be storage because asking our guests to sort through the box to get their name card would create waaaaay too much of a bottleneck.

Maybe we could use it as a card box… but I think it’s too small for that.

If we took the alphabetical file cards out of it, we could use it as a small container for something. Pens? Pencils? Pledge cards for donations to the Glacier National Park Fund?

But you know what? Even if we don’t end up using the box for something “functional,” I’m definitely bringing it along for decor!

Please, share your suggestions for the box… what should we do with it?
