    These tins are all so beautiful filled with the lovely blossoms! I collect tins, but keep loose tea in them, I'll have to borrow this idea!

    Enjoyed this post a lot!

    Beautiful! I have a butterfly tin that I use as a vase at times. Also, love the idea of leaving the label on cans for vases. I often take them off and cover with beautiful scrapbook paper or old maps and paint with a glossy glue. Have a good weekend!

    Hello Duchess! I have a few tins, but never have I seen any so darling as yours. Do you get them locally or online? My tea club ladies would love these, and I'm always on the look-out for special hostess gifs! You did a beautiful job of displaying them! I'm still trying to interpret your instructions on joining Tea and Friendship. I am so "blog jargon" challenged, but I'll figure it out soon!

    The flowers are beautiful in the tea tins. I even saw one tin in your grouping that I have from Hediard's.

    The photos of the flowers in tea tins are gorgeous. Tea tins are a great collectible - so many colors and designs.

    I may use this idea for a tea table that I will be doing at Christmas.
