I love the chair as it is big and cosy and just the right size to curl up and read a book. I wish I could have accompanied you on your thrift store trip as I would love to have seen the tins you found. I love thrifting myself and am always amazed at what people will discard, but having said that, I have just remembered the saying, "one man's rubbish is another man's treasurer! and that is certainly true. Have a lovely day today, Best Wishes DaphneIvy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315539149655307592.post-32741919734599394432012-11-11T17:08:50.365+00:002012-11-11T17:08:50.365+00:00Good Evening to you, Tins have so many uses don...Good Evening to you, Tins have so many uses don't they and the bonus is they are so lovely to look at. I found a lovely small round biscuit tin yesterday with Dutch ladies on it it....and I love it. Years ago tins were very popular, but I don't think they are as much now, so it's lovely to meet another "tin" person. Thank you for visiting.

People are so kind aren't they. We all have so much nowadays that we can all afford to donate items which are needed. By volunteering at a temporary shelter, you are really making a difference to the families who have suffered. When something like this happens, it really puts things into perspective and makes us realise what is truly important.

It's interesting how we all use different containers to carry our sewing items. Your fabric case sounds perfect. Yes, like yours, my old sewing basket isn't the prettiest but she has been with me a long time and I can't bear to part with her. I found it interesting thinking back to when I was a little girl, as today we are surrounded by so many sweet things,which we can eat, when and where we want, but back in the 50's the sweet treats were an occasion and they were really enjoyed. Have a lovely day today.

No, you'll be pleased to know the snow has gone, which is a relief, but I hear that they had snow in the South West of England yesterday. Talking about snow at Christmas Eve, we had a falling of snow on Christmas Eve 3 years ago and it was magical for the children (big and small alike). Trouble is it stayed for 2 weeks. Oh well you can't have everything. Enjoy your week Fiona.

I can see why you love and treasure it. It really is a wonderful keepsake. I have soem favorite tins that Ive owned for many years. Most once had cookies in them, (what we call biscuits in thr US), and I now use them to store various things such as cookie cutters, buttons, packets of falvorings and spices, tea bags, etc. <br /><br />Thank you for all your kind wods of support for the Hurrican Sandy victims. I have been voluteering at a temporary shelter for people that lost their homes.
