Yesterday while TRAPPED in my bedroom I allowed myself to become distracted by my BEAUTIFUL collection of vintage tins....
Twas a PLEASANT distraction whiling away the minutes touching, marvelling & remembering from whence they came....Most of them were sourced via eBay in the US, while a few have been lucky finds here in Oz....
There are 15 pictured here though I do have a GORGEOUS pink Huntley & Palmer duck tin in storage....Each & every one makes me SMILE out loud & are filled with all manner of tiny Treasures....!
Playing with Instagram here....Needs a little tweaking....!!!
This last pic here is from one of my FAVE Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic books, Sumptuous Settings & Other Lovely Things (pg 116)....I see we share a fondness for some of the same tins....!
Do you have a collection of tins....? I'd LOVE to see them if you do.... You might have some that I haven't seen before....!!!
Cheers for now,
Tamarah :o)

ReplyDeleteHi Tamarah! Reading this gives me tin envy :) They're beautiful! I hope you have a lovely day xxx
ReplyDeleteYes, I collect tins...I have 1,500 of them! All pre 1940. The house is over run!
ReplyDeleteI just bought one from a friend for one dollar-it's a Daher(?) and has a lovely turquoise and birds on it. You have a stellar collection and it makes me wish for more but I am truly at critical mass. xoxo, olive
ReplyDeleteI have a modest collection of tins, but yours are so divine miss Tamarah. I am so glad that you are back. Bec x
ReplyDeleteI find it very hard to resist those tins when I come across them. Very hard - as in impossible!! Enjoy.

I have never seen any tins quite that lovely! You have a great collection.
ReplyDeleteI got an ipad for Christmas too but I have not tried blogging with it yet. Do you like blogpress? Do you get options to post larger pictures? Just another thing I need to learn how to do!
