That's an Allamanda

Love that box, Slow! I like that you left the inside unpainted... less is better sometimes (your wastebasket gift for CJ, too.) Both were a great choice! I have a similar shaped box. Probably 100 years ago... in a tole painting stage of my life.. I painted it. Most things from them have gone by the wayside... but you've given me an idea of how to bring it out again and use it in a different way! Thank you! And as alway.. thanks for the wonderful inspiration!

In 1879, Thomas Seymour, Edward Irvin and Clarence Wood Scott founded the Scott Paper Company and made the first toilet paper sold in rolls. In 1879, Walter Alcock created toilet paper on a roll, and used the perforated toilet roll instead of the common flat sheets. In 1890, the Scott Paper Company made its Waldorf brand toilet paper in rolls. In 1897, Wheelers Company began selling and marketing standard perforated toilet paper on a roll. In 1921, Waldorf brand (by Scott Paper Company) represented 64% of Scott's total case sales and this company became the leading toilet paper company in the world.

Heehee. To the "I'm not going to be around forever. You need to consider that." BS , I have responded, " I have considered it. Whose gonna take the brats off my hands when your dead? " Oooo I know, that's awful. But I had really had it with being talked to like a brood mare. But as in have never been married,that was always thrown in there too. Like it didn't matter WHO sired the things, just find something with a pulse and some sperm,drag him down the aisle,and start producing wench!!!!! Luckily,none of this foolishness came from my parents. As my 5 older siblings have provided them with 15 grandchildren, now aged 2 to 17, they hardly notice that I have none to add to the pack, and have never really mentioned it. My sister was probably the worst, until I started my relationship with SO 10 years or so ago. As she and her hubby have some sort of misguided moral objection to race mixing, the baby nagging stopped quite abruptly. Another win for the spinster (even if not an old MAID)
