Vintage Awesomeness

I snagged these awesome canisters from my grandmother's house, last year, when we were helping her clean out her house. She was getting rid of some older things and this canister set was one of them! She was about to send them off to Goodwill! I was like, ummmm...I'll gladly take those off your hands! By the way, these weren't the only vintage goodies we snagged from her. I'll share more later on. Hopefully some DIY upcycles!

Anyway, I just recently found them, again, because I've been packing for our move. We have boxes everywhere. I've had some awesome stuff saved in boxes labeled "For When We Have a House", that I haven't set out in our apartment. These little guys have been waiting patiently to be used. More like, I've been waiting to use all this amazing stuff I've saved to decorate with!! Obviously, I cannot wait to embellish our new home now that we will have the space for it.

They kind of look like Pantone swatches, yeah?
 


I have a set of four. Two large and two small.




Now where to put them...the studio or the kitchen? I think she originally had them storing small things in her kitchen. What would you do with them? Suggestions? Thanks grandma for saving these and passing them down to us! Who knew we would be using them today.

  1. Those are soooo sweet! I treasure the things I have that belonged to both my grams, too. I would totally keep them in the kitchen-not necessarily the traditional sugar, flour, etc but maybe pasta or rice...
