Tobacco, Cigars, and Coffee...sounds healthy

I got some great old treasures last night that

I just have to share with you...

Any good ideas on what to do with old tins and cigar boxes?

I just couldn't resist them.

And check out these old paper bells. Aren't they sweet!?

I got the chairs as well.
Don't know where I'm gonna put them yet~but I'm in love with them.

Have a lovely sunshiney day.

Being enjoying all your posts!

Janet, said...: Hi, around her people make purses out of the cigar boxes. You could probably google it to find out how to do it. I've never did it before.; May 14, 2009 at 10:03 PM
The Quintessential Magpie said...: Love all of it, Chas! When we were little, we used to play a phone prank by calling people and asking if they had Prince Albert in a Can. If they said, "Yes," then we'd tell them they'd better let him out or he might smother. ;-) Silliness personified.
