What's in the Black Box?

I spotted this big wooden box under a table at a recent sale...

It was really heavy when I tried to move it. I thought that the case might be full of rifles or plutonium. Uh...no. Stencils. Hundreds of them. Letters in 2 sizes.

And Numbers. I ♥ numbers.

Let's spell something, shall we?

Take a number!

My pal, Joan at Anything Goes Here, is showcasing her love for letters and numbers for a special blog happening which I'll tell you about in a minute. But first, I also have a soft spot for letters and numbers. Let's go scrounging through the studio, shall we?

I have a thing for game pieces and printing stamps...

and decals that look like metal but are actually cardboard...great for making greeting cards.

My latest acquisition, a very large metal P. It stands for Perky.

For those of you who also love letters and numbers, I invite you to this shindig:

Yes, boys and girls, it's a Letters and Numbers blog party tomorrow (9~9~09) over at Vintage Junky. Link on over and check it out!
