Recently, at a multi dealer antique center I found an old Ivory Soap box. I brought it home and filled it with my vintage soaps. It's perfect in a corner of my blue and white kitchen!
Today was cloudy and damp so we did a lot of reading and a bit of cooking. I am looking forward to some sunshine tomorrow so I can get outside and take some pictures to share!
basically, that's what hubby and did today also. sat outside at the picnic table,visited and watched c.c. our cat play around and hunt in the grass. Bestest,Denise p.s.i so remember very well the ivory soap as a kid. so pure and it floated. that was magic for a kid :)
A man and a woman are in a haunted hotel. All night they hear a scary voice say, "It flooooats...IT FLOOOOATS...." Biting her nails in terror the woman screams "STOP, STOP....WHAT FLOATS??!!" The ghost replies in a normal rather comical voice, "Ivory soap. Ivory soap floats." the end...
Dear Laura, Well, it just shows how old I am as I can remember Ivory soap and that packaging !! Have a lovely new week and I hope that the weather cheers up. XXXX
Hello Laura, I can just imagine the excitement when you found this soap box! it is just gorgeous the way you did your vignette with the soap -but then of course we know however you choose to use it, would be pretty and perfect! have a lovely day Colette x
Great find!! Contact Ivory soap send them photo's see what they have to say. You can set up your little advertising on it :) great box! Thank you for visiting me Laura and your comment, I will treasure your words :) xoxo Dore
Oh Laura you must have gotten so excited when you saw that box and knew exactly how you were going to use it. I was just saying to George that it's funny that modern manufacturers don't make beautiful graphics on their boxes. Then if you left the cereal box out you wouldn't mind it so much:)) Hope you can make it on Thursday!!!
Grateful and content...
...life long collector of objects with history and soul; discovering my creative self and sharing bits and pieces along the way...
To live content with small means.... To seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion.... To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich.... To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly.... To listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart.... To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.... In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.... ...........this is to be my symphony.
Thank you to all the kindred spirits and kind souls who take the time to leave a comment......Your support and encouragement are deeply appreciated.....I read each and every message and as time allows, do my best to reply.

So the joke is:
A man and a woman are in a haunted hotel. All night they hear a scary voice say, "It flooooats...IT FLOOOOATS...." Biting her nails in terror the woman screams "STOP, STOP....WHAT FLOATS??!!" The ghost replies in a normal rather comical voice, "Ivory soap. Ivory soap floats."
