vintage storage solutions


we love vintage boxes and tins, whenever we see them we have to buy them! it's so neat to think of all the different things that came in wooden boxes and tins like pasta, tape and cigarettes, things that now come in cardboard boxes and plastic. we even have a two pieces that are just a couple years away from being antique!
these boxes and tins make great storage and still add the vintage touch to our rooms. the jars are great in the pantry for dry foods, or even in your garden shed for seeds. the pasta tins are long enough to store knitting needles and some of the other tins are great for buttons or other sewing notions or craft supplies.
when we purchase new things at the grocery store nowadays, we try and look for those tins and wooden boxes that we can keep and maybe one day someone will find them as treasures!      ~r&m
