Shopping at Costco today with my friend Barb, I mentioned that I was on the lookout for a little storage bench I could put under my mailbox for larger items. | ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgBpaHVGjY-rt_v9yfD8wdgRpSnF3Wf2NpOCTJN8WpMIt_Jbo61G14DBbC9GiwNEBGaRJnHJ8dJQ7T7lCawaSEUbiSmKBCeTTIEmrndFeIlEAntlzp718SstzZmrHqDD-4EQFWDA/s400/mailbox.jpg) |
I have a nice vintage mailbox, i.e., small. (The clip, however, is not vintage. I guess I should leave it inside when I'm not using it for outgoing mail.) Magazines and catalogs have to be folded in half to cram them in. |
On the drive home, we passed a used furniture place, and the ever-vigilant Barb (who was driving, no less) said, "Hey look! A bench like you wanted!" | ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxorXRT7ypt3KuXzbHafxUeWxjRTCiHm97y4PMpJd6Pd3ivN-5E6-kiq3SGfzfyIUN0JHXy0s88qYP57vDE-Jpra7i4CGUwUfbdc1H1PCDod-UiReqXb5EgQVQOG0z2uVSxJ_D_Q/s400/bench.jpg) |

It opens from the front rather than the top, but I can cut out the dividers on one side to hold packages. And for $25, it's just what I needed. Thanks, Barb! |
Perfect - it looks really nice. And I like your vintage mailbox - even with the non-vintage clip.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The mail carrier has yet to make use of it, though. I guess the test will be when I get a fat magazine.
