Mike had a Saturday off again, so off we went treasure hunting... I think this fabulous old metal tin was my most favorite find =) I adore the jadeite green color! I paid a whole .50 cents for it at an antique shop. Can you believe that?! I hauled it home (along with a car full of other treasures) and cut up some vintage paper curtains that I had and lined the bottom of the tin with a piece and then "ModPodged" a piece on the lid of the tin. I have it in our bedroom sitting on the top of my stack of vintage hat boxes. It looks perfectly shabby with just the right amount of "vintage character" (i.e. dents, scratches and paint chips - LOL!) I love it!!!
