    I always carried a lunch box! I wish I would have kept them. I love looking at the retro lunch boxes in antique stores. I didn't really love school, but lunch boxes always bring such fond memories of days gone by.

    These lunchboxes were great! Think I have to get a James Dean Lunchbox for my mother.
  • AtomicGirl Oct 23, 2011 @ 9:10 am | delete
    What a great lens! My very first lunchbox was this stupid Holly Hobbie one that my mother bought me when I was 6. I had no idea who Holly Hobbie was, hated the lunchbox, and couldn't wait until it rusted so I could get a cool one like all the other kids owned, lol. Funny thing is, as much as I hated that 1st lunch box it was the only one I remember owning even though I only had it for 2, 3 years. Weird, huh?
