Well, Wolfie, another new one i see. To start us off - I have quite a nice collection of old looking tins in my kitchen, mostly in use rather than just decorative. I started years ago with a large flour tin that has a brown antiquy printed design on it. Since then I have acquired several other usually as gifts from friends.

i love boxes and tins. mine are being used for everything since i have no space to display them, might as well put them to use.

I have open shelves in my kitchen instead of cupboards, so my tins look nice as well as useful.
