Treasure

Good things regularly lurk in Quality Street tins, especially when the old tin is your Gran's button box. My Gran's just moved house and I've been lucky to inherit the button box which I spent hours rummaging in when I was little. It's been well and truly ransacked over the years (I've always been a magpie) but there are still a few treasure inside...



I love this 50's spaceman tin so much - I used to keep my popper beads in it when I was tiny - it makes me all nostalgic... My Mum found it and gave it to me and it has some amazing coral coloured vintage plastic objects in it that I will make into earrings So many goodies!

Thrifty

Like this OTT beaded blue top
