On my mind – vintage tins!

Wednesday 19 September 2012

Just a little something pretty to get us through our hump day! I have been spotting pretty little vintage tins all over the internet and I just had to do a post on them. Fill them with wild flowers, use them as trinket jars, use them to keep coffee fresh and stylish in your fridge (which is what I do), or simply just use them as decoration. Either way, you can’t go wrong.

  2. I love this idea, too! My favourite is the tin with the Craspedias as they are also one of my face blooms! Thanks for the inspiration, Meghan! :)

  5. Love old tins and love to see them used as vases. It's like something tough gets a soft touch.

  6. I have been looking at one for a few days that was given to me, wondering what to do with it. It's not exactly vintage, it just looks vintage. But it's rather big so I don't think flowers will work. I'll think of something ;-)

  11. I love vintage tins as well, and these are some beauties! My mom has the Edgewood blue tobacco tin. I'm trying to coax it from her, with no luck yet. :)
