Anyone who knows me well knows I hate traditional, cataloguey shit. I'm an original. It's how I made my living as a standup comic and how I decorate.
I came across this mailbox and even though I wanted an official U.S.P.S. silver one, this was the only one I found. I wanted to turn it into a trashcan for the bathroom. When it was full, I would put the flag up because this meant it was time to empty it. I thought I was a genius until I realized I lived alone and I'm not a little bit country.

Oh sorry first read "It's Possible I'm Legally Blond."
ReplyDeleteFor the full country flavor, why don't you stuff it with silk flowers and place it on your mantel. And don't forget the stencil.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Marty.
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny!
ReplyDeleteI recommend selling (giving it away) it at the neighborhood yardsale!
ReplyDeleteOMG that is ugly...LOL dang we wouldn't even use that in Mississippi...LOL
ReplyDeleteI bid $1.
ReplyDeleteWe should do a blog yard sale, Suzy!
I like that better than the skittle fish.
ReplyDeleteI'll buy it. Name your price. I want my wife to use it as a feminine products receptacle and she can put the flag up when she no longer needs it that month.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who would love a mailbox like that. Or even a trash can. And since she's the only one who empties it at her house, she could play with the flag all she wants. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThe idea is . . . interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou should send it to Douglas's wife so she can hit him over the head with it!
ReplyDeletePeople love those hand painted mailboxes around here. Trashcan is better.
I think you can get atleast $5 for it at garage sale. You had good intentions as crazy as they are!
ReplyDeleteThat's very inventive! I might put red swing-arm flags on all kinds of things around our house to show it's full or empty or in need of a good dusting, etc.
ReplyDeleteWell paint it black with a skull on it and call it Rock and roll.
ReplyDeleteOh.My.Gawd. That is foul and odious. But still not as bad as that skeery fish.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing I'm in love with you. I will overlook your decorating faux pas. Tell Vodka Mom to fill me up!
ReplyDeleteI thought you put lederhosen on it.
ReplyDeleteSquint your eyes...
wow. It's so festive.
ReplyDeleteNo, you didn't. Wait. Did you? This is a joke, right? Whew. I was nervous for a minute that you were serious ...
ReplyDeleteThis is so hideous and awful...I love it. Also,agreed, we must start putting up little flip flags on everything everywhere.
ReplyDeleteGives a whole new meaning to the term "junk mail."
ReplyDeleteThat storage unit is like a little shop of horrors. Seriously. Just set it all on fire!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but for it to be a genuine "country" mailbox, it would have to have at least one big dent in it, the flag would be bent and the door would either be missing or wouldn't close.
ReplyDeleteCareful, or your guests will think you're "crafty".
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
