At the Flea this weekend there was a man selling stacks of these State Express Cigarette tin boxes from 210 Piccadilly London for $1.00 each.
I thought that they were kind of neat...
although most had been defaced with the name of a country written in marker across the front.
I picked out what I thought were the best two...
...not too much of the underlying graphics scraped off...Ceylon and India.
(I have since been able to remove most of the marker).
At the flea I opened one or two and they were empty tins....
...but when I got home I discovered they were both filled with...
old postage stamps!
Don't you just love little surprises like that?
Somebody was an avid stamp collector!
Oh, and I forgot to mention that because I bought a lovely old photo album from this man...he threw the tins in...so they cost nothing! :)
Hmm...what to do with them now...
collage? altered art?
What would you do with them?
...maybe just throw them out?
A heartfelt thank you to all who have left kind comments about 52 FLEA in the last few days...
...and for those who have sent up prayers and good wishes for my Mom.
Your words have warmed my heart...
There are a few days left to enter the 52 FLEA 500th Post Give Back!
The winner will be picked on August 1st!
Have a great night!
...and Thursday...
:)
