I love little boxes; I can't resist opening them up to see what's inside. In this case, some coins from Canada and the United Arab Emirates found a home in this little decorative box.

Coins in a box



I bought this object at an "estate sale" (like a yard sale, but in a house, probably a sale after a person dies) a few years ago. I like it a lot, it's a metal thing in the shape of a horse head, a war horse with armor. It sits by the door and sometimes I put my keys on it. I suspect it was someone's art project.

Hehe. The first one reminds me of a box we kept at home when I was a kid. My dad used to travel all over the world for his job and he would bring back strange money from everywhere. Only our box wasn't as pretty.

The horse is so cool! I want to reach out and touch it.
