These are my old canisters (you can see the tint is chipping off.) R has been hastling me about getting new canisters for a while now, but all the ones I like are waaay expensive.
Some of you may not know this about me, but I am a pack rat. I know, it's a nasty habit. I keep things, thinking that it may provide useful in the future. This pack rat is also closely related to the "fixer upper." I like to try to keep things by fixing them up. Sometimes, the fixer-uppers turn out and sometimes they are just tossed by my disapproving husband. We are 100% opposite of each other when it comes to this.
Anyway, here are some old canisters I found at a local antique shop that I thought I could fix up. After some help from my soooo organized friend, Amy, with her scrapbooking tools we had perfect ovals and rectangles and I just painted in them. I may still go back and add some grosgrain ribbon or something. Hubby should be proud that this only set him back by a grand total of $22.
