Canisters in the Sewing Room
Not only do my new cabinets hold lots of fabric, they provide me with clear surfaces for new sets of vintage canisters. Fortunately I live not too far from the ground zero of vintage storage containers, and was able to pick these beauties up for very little.
Not everything has to match. It's a set because I say it is!
Actually these are just perfect for storing all the sewing notions that come on cards--bias binding, rickrack, seam tape. Because if you put enough of them in, they stay vertical and every color is visible at once. So practical.

Such sweet tins.
Anna,
What beautiful and practical additions to your sewing room.
Peace.
I am such a sucker for vintage canisters! Those you have there are fabulous! And I too use them in my sewing room to hold notions.
I never see nice tins at our thrift stores out here. That looks charming!
Beautiful and functional, my kind of organizing!
I have an old Boston Oriole bird tin that I keep my garden seeds in. I'd really like to have the set, but I only have one!
One of the things I love about vintage storage containers (as well as tablecloths, aprons, and other kitchen "stuff") is the bright colors.
Women of generations past made their environment so cheerful!
I love it Anna! Great idea for using those cute vintage tins :)
Very pretty and resourceful!
That is a fantastic idea for storing notions!
Sweet organization...a la vintage tins!

What a beautiful way to store your sewing supplies!
I saw that exact red set at King's Row Antiques in downtown Puyallup yesterday. Small world... :)
