[QUOTE="donna723, post: 534905, member: 1883"] Those boys are learning from the master! I wish there was a decent flea market around here but there isn't, and I'm not much in to garage sales. There are lots of them around but most of the stuff seems to be baby clothes and the velvet bullfighter pictures and things like that! I know what you mean about the tins though! I love finding those little treasures like that! I have a shelf that goes all the way across my kitchen that is just full of stuff like that! I have several depression glass pitchers and several very old fancy cream pitchers, and two Cash Family painted pottery pitchers. I have an old oval bread tray that I love - they were used for slicing bread and has a colorful advertising picture on it from some long-gone bakery. But my favorite thing is an old tin can that I found in an antique store and paid $2 for! It's an old red and green "Half and Half" tobacco can that held pipe tobacco. My grandfather used to smoke Half and Half in his pipe and for years we always saw him sitting in his chair with that tobacco can and his pipe rack on the table right next to him. Just to see that familiar old can brings back so many fond memories of him! The first time my brother saw that can on my kitchen shelf, he started grinning and saying how much it reminded him of our grandfather! Darrin would have LOVED what we used to get as kids! Back then a lot of men, especially the older ones, used to smoke cigars. And the cigars came in beautifully decorated heavy cardboard cigar boxes with lids that raised up! Every kid I knew had a cigar box to keep their "treasures" in. When one of our grandfathers got a new box of cigars, we would call dibs on the box and fight over which one of us would get it when it was empty! [/QUOTE]
