One more great thrifted find by my mom for this week. She got me these old food tins. I don't actually put food in them, I have them sitting on the tops of my cupboards.

  1. Great find. I also collect old food tins. I use them for a border around my kitchen at the top. I only need prob 6 or so tins to finish it up and then on the fourth wall I have flat tin signs hanging.

  2. Great idea! I was stumped as to what to put around the perimeter of my kitchen cupboards. Now I just may have to put those popcorn tins with Disney characters to good use. Where is a good place to find such food themed tins? I notice they have them out more during the holiday season :)

  3. My mom is a tin-a-holic! I really have always liked how they looked. We used to use them for the food product, but I would love to take them over and have a cool collection.

  4. That very same Ritz tin is hidden somewhere in my folk's home. It makes for a great drum for impromptu carnivale sessions.
