Hubby Bought Me

Post by Cockneystitcher »

Hubby went awandering when we were out at the weekend,and came back with the Singer Tin box and a friend as just come back from Brugge and bought me some Hand made choccies in a nice old fashion looking tin box.

Thought i might line the Singer Tin inside to make it look nicer.Or use it for a button box.Any ideas ?.

Wonderful stuff. I collect tins and love using them. Watch out for T'Bear, hide the chocies. :lol:
Lining it is a great idea. Buttons and ribbons, beads and small pieces of fabric. Lots of uses. Have fun.

The singer box is great. No suggestions for it's use, but I would put it in a place of honor as I love the look.

I :wub: the tins and would be more than happy to help you make room in the choccy one ... just to help out. :shifty:
As for the uses, I'd use it for either storing metallics or speciality threads etc.
Both beautiful tins though. :applesauce: :applesauce:
