Top tin...

I decided to seek out a little color in my snow covered white world. I thought I'd share some favorites- my tins and metal trays. They shout Spring.

These vintage bits always grab my attention when I am roaming around thrift stores or rummaging through yard sales. The colors and designs make me smile and you can find them all over the little farm...

Which one is your favorite?

They are all beautiful, but I like the bowl with the book and the other stuff in it, and the box right below that.

I love all of your tole painted trays but I think I like the last one the best. My favorite is always red. Always.

Gorgeous collection! For me, it's a tie between the large tray in blue with the white daisies and yellow tulips or whatever, and the aqua and gold "treasure chest" tin.

I really like the rectangular trays with the bouquet of flowers on them. They remind me of the ones my mom use to have.

I hope your snow melts soon! I believe the east is suppose to warm up around the weekend : )

Have a wonderful day!!!

What pretty tins and trays! My favorite is the small one in the first picture. Well...I actually like all of those that have roses on them.

Blessings,

Hi, I linked over from Magpie Ethel. I have a thing for these tins too, especially when they cost a dime! My fave is the blue tray with the yellow and white flowers. So simple, so Dutch-ish. Stop by my blog for a visit sometime!

I love collecting tins. They are so pretty and usually so cheap to find. The blue tray with the daisies is my favorite here, but it's a hard choice. xo, suzy

Oh, I like them all. I think the 5th one from the bottom is my fave. The blue/green with gold flowers that is footed. Very pretty collection.

These will make any icicle melt! I too love tins. I've done several posts about my Peek Frean tins, my tole trays, and such. Finding a beautiful tine piece is heavenly. Yours are just lovely!

I can surely see why these sweet tins bring color to your otherwise white and snowy area.
Being a tin lover myself, I am like you and can hardly pass one by. The top photo of the red one with the finial on the lid is my fav. However I have the same blue tray with yellow flowers, too.

Hope all is going great for you.
