Using thrifted finds to create a vignette in our hall, here is our vintage picnic tin decor.
Okay, so the top one isn’t vintage but the rest are.
I’m just a vintage soul.

If there is a support group for vintage picnic tins, I am NOT going! Well, I will go if anyone is selling their tins but only because I would want to support them in their recovery. 😂
*Please no hate mail. I have mad respect for those in recovery. Sometimes there is just fun, too!
Do you know how you have those collections that everyone finds out you collect it and then next thing you know you are wiping your face with a Noah’s Ark towel, true story?
Well, I have now found something that is impossible to overload on…so far.

Oh, how I love thee.
They are pretty hard to find actually, but outside of just normal thrifting, this is our number one place to find picnic tins.

As you can see, I love to use vintage picnic tin decor throughout the home.
VINTAGE TIN INFO
I guess some of these are considered to be bread box tins.
I was unable to find much information other than some are made by Nesco Company and seem to be dated around the 40’s and 50’s.
If you have any information, we would LOVE to know more. Point us in the right direction.

Those beauties are as scarce as hen’s teeth in my neck of the woods, but I would love to have one or two for our decor. I love them.
Now I wish I could send you one. Why can’t you live in the states?
So they aren’t as hard as hen’s teeth to find here but pretty close.
What a treasure trove of tin decor. Pinned

Thank you Maria! I just love them. Vintage suitcases are awesome too
What a great collection! You are just amazing!
Awww thank you Marty. 🙂
Hi Deborah! Yes… I have a tin collection. It began when I was 7 years old and took over sewing buttons on clothes for my mother. I stole her beautiful round black floral tin to use as a sewing box and never looked back. I have many cookie tins and they are all used for sewing items, embroidery yarn, to hold photographs, whatever. Then there are the Santa tins… Oh, and a new Easter bunny one I found this year! It is a decorating disease, I know… ;)’
Enjoy your beautiful tins and plus, they are so handy for storage, what’s there not to like???!!
Hugs,
Barb 🙂
