Little Works of Art...


I love the beautiful graphics on old spice tins!  
This pretty threesome was a recent 
garage sale find!  The Colman's Mustard is a British tin...




Love this red and green color combination...



and it's fun to see an older version of a French's tin...



Pretty aren't they? 
 Such a great pop of color in a kitchen...
little works of art!


I know some of you have been waiting for the Fall Bachman's Ideas House posts!  Well...Monday, I visited the house and I'll start the tour on my next post!

Until next time...

  2. You are right, they are like mini-works of art. Love how the colors have held up through the years. I have yet to go garage saling or estate saling in my new area, but I hope to start doing that again. Can't wait for the tour! Ann

  4. Those are a must for a little country kitchen decor
    I can just see them in a blue crock bowl or sitting on a wooden spice rack. I say that because that is how I use to use mine in the kitchen
    you found some good ones

  5. These are neat little tins. I've seen the older version of Frenches but not the other two.
    I haven't gotten around to posting my Bachman Idea House photos. I think I will just put a link to yours on my blog. You always get better photos!

  17. You are right, they are little works of art, I love them too. My daughter has collected a few of them and I've helped her. Very fun!

  18. Haha, I used to have a French's can just like that! It's a shame that the tins have been discontinued. They were little works of advertising art.

  19. What gorgeous vintage tins Linda.

    I went to the Colman's Mustard Museum in Norwich when my brother was at University there!

    Great finds and yes, little mini works of art :)
