It’s
confession time, folks: I’m rather fond of ANZAC biscuit tins. Running out of
places to stash them, I’m thinking of moving some out of the kitchen. Perhaps
one or two could be put to better use as a place to keep photos?
Maybe one
could hold all those postcards I’ve collected [an obscene number of which seem
to be of churches].
Seriously, I've just been looking for an excuse to use a new expression Grace introduced me to, so I shall say these tins are just 'the dog's bollocks". He he.

Thinking
that if I could find more uses for them I might find excuses for them, I had a
peek on ebay. [- at the tins, not the bollocks -]. Check this out:
So did you bid on them?
ReplyDeleteMT, I'm not sure I dare do such a thing. At least not til I start doing something useful with the ones I already have!
DeleteWe have managed to never keep a biscuit tin, but I have decided one we received at christmas of Florence will be my niece's pencil tin at our place. The rare USA ones are rather good.
ReplyDeleteFlorence I could live with. Appropriate place to keep some tools related to art.
DeleteGorgeous - go for 'em, put your bid in!
ReplyDeleteI'm a tin collector too, but without a theme - whatever appeals to me which, at the moment, are old lozenges that used to have cocaine and/or borax as their key ingredients.
Cocaine lozenges? I'd probably find it hard to walk past a tin like that myself.
DeleteOh very nice interjection FC :) Go on, add to your collection, you know you want to!
ReplyDeleteAh,all I have to do now is stop saying "bollocks" when I mean "rubbish". Why dogs bollocks should, in contrast, refer to something good is beyond me. Seriously, it's a saying that just makes me think of offal.
