I blame my Mom for this. If she had only told me that you could buy place setting seeds, I could have saved a lot of money and gotten way cooler wedding presents.
Plates are coming up every where... going to be a good year
Bunny enjoying the lush greenery, plates seem to be bunny proof
Nothing I hate worse than a mocking frog...
I don't know what that is but it's a pretty tin and I suspect tobacco related... plates growing like weeds
I love beanie boy

How many of you had a Charles Chips truck come to your house and deliver a giant tin of greasy chippy goodness?
I love Charles Chips. I haven't seen them in a long time, though. And like you, I don't recall ever seeing a blue tin. Maybe some weird reaction with the sunlight?
ReplyDeleteJust heard about your blog over at Lins Duck and wheel. Had to come over and check it out. Looks like you have a pretty fun place here :)
ReplyDeleteI love the way you use various items with such ingenuity. Great photographs and fun to look at:-)
ReplyDeleteMorningglory2, you may be right about the sunlight. I did a image search and could not find any blue cans.
ReplyDeleteAnn, We sure do have fun! Come and play.
klahanie, It is not my ingenuity. I just score. But the yards are always fun to look at.
My Dad says there was a blue tin in the 50's. It was a special kind of chip. The can in the picture looks like a regular one that has been out in the sun for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea Dad was that old.
CTWD, that is valuable information. I could not find a match on any kind of search. Perhaps you Dad heard about it at the knee of his Grandpap.
ReplyDeleteNICE! i love beanie boy too.
ReplyDeleteGreat. Now I want some Charles Chips!
