It seems that this Christmas I'm thinking "inside" the box. No, not the presents, the decorating! 
This sewing machine drawer is on a table in my living room. I found the adorable figurine at a discount junk store for a dollar. Click on the picture to get a better look.
This is on my dining room table. You can see by the next picture, it is an old red metal box. I bought a box of boxes for a dollar at an auction and this was in it.
I washed it off but didn't scrub it because I like the old look. None of these arrangements are permanent. I like to change things so I may use them filled with something else later.
I found this 3 compartment wooden box in a barn at a sale. It didn't even have a price on it. I guess they figured no one would want it. I think it was a dollar also. This is on a table in my bathroom. How's your decorating going? Do you think 'inside' or outside the box?

I love the old rustic look too. Your decorations are just great.
Such a good idea to use simple, rustic looking items. They turned out very pretty.
Nice box arrangements!
You always know just how to add a little somethin' somethin' to make things festive!
Very nice arrangements! Enjoy your day!
Oh, I love your way of thinking 'inside the box.' I went to a thrift store the other day and saw a beautiful box, much like the one in your first photo, and I didn't buy it! Ugh! You've given me the inspiration to march right back to that store and make a purchase! Beautiful boxes...thanks for sharing!
So, you are thinking 'outside' the box decorating 'inside' the box(es)! What a neat idea! Thanks for sharing!
I love that rustic look to and those boxes are fab!
Love your rustic decor,the red tool box is wonderful.Everthing looks so good.
I just love the look of the boxes. I wish I had a box to decorate. So cute. Thanks for the ideas.
Very creative and inspiring! It's a good thing to think "inside the box" sometimes!

I love your thinking! Your rustic box displays are lovely. You are so creative!
Love, Ann
I love them all .....especially the red tool box! I am embarrassed to say that very little decorating has been done here.
I am getting my Christmas cheer from lurking around blogland this morning....waiting for the wood stove to warm the great room up. It's a toasty 15 degrees this morning and the heat pump just isn't cutting it!
Happy Holidays!

I LOVE boxes too! And the red one - wow - you've really added just the right embelishments to get that vintage look. What a fun theme - I may have to "borrow" (ahem) that one for next year!
