I bought this old metal toolbox at the auction
months ago and usually sell them, but I didn’t realize this one
was missing part of the latch on one side, so I decided to
keep it and plant some fall mums inside. It wasn’t until
I had the flowers planted and stepped back to look, that I realized it’s smiling!
It must have had a lock dangling from the center latch at one time,
which wore away the paint, creating his smile.
Is he cute, or what?!! He looks like a metal jack-o-lantern.
I rarely have my camera on hand to catch a Kodak moment,
but I was outside taking some photos and when I came back
toward the house I spotted our beagle, lounging
on the chair next to my happy little toolbox.
(Yes, our pooch has only 3 legs…sad story for another day)
I’d like to think this little toolbox is so happy because
decided to keep him, planted some pretty in him & love him.
decided to keep him, planted some pretty in him & love him.
Hope you find some unexpected happy today!

He’s happy because now he’s loved. Sweet story.
Love it! What an unexpected find! Makes me smile 🙂
love the toolbox with the smile…but my heart went out for your darling beagle…many years ago i had a little three legged pooch that wandered into my yard with the stiches still in where his front leg used to be..couldn’t find the owner so we kept him and named him lucky….your picture brought back sweet memories
Love the mums in the “Happy Face” tool box, looks so “Fallish” you should make a sign that says Happy Fall Y’all. It is amazing how animals can get by on 3 legs, some can even run as fast as ones with 4 legs.
Awww, that’s sooo sweeeet! Your beagle is adorable & so is the smiling toolbox, great find! =)
Oh my sweet goodness! This tool box is so cute! I love the smile, the flowers and the pooch…who doesn’t seem to be wanting any pity…He looks just happy as the tool box!

I definitely see a jack o lantern face. Very fun!
Now, that is just too cute!
That’s the most adorable thing ever…cute Pups included. What a great thing to discover 🙂
Of course the tool box is happy, look at the cute pup sitting next to it.

How cute- I don’t know which is cuter-the toolbox or the pup. I think it’s a tie- xo Diana
Ha! I saw the thumbnail photo for your post and headed right over to tell you your toolbox was a smilin’. Guess you already figured that out for yourself. Too cute!! It’s a keeper. And that is one sweet dog on the chair.
Very cute tool box. Perfect for your fall mums.
Just darling!
I love it, he is happy that he was saved and loved. I think this is just adorable.

So sweet, I don’t know which one is cuter! I love your box…so perfect for fall.
Love the toolbox Angie … a big plus that he is smiling. The beagle is precious.
I need to get some mums and get ready for Fall … too hot to even think Fall is near.
Nights have been a little cooler so maybe that is a sign.
Blessings.
