flea market find
at the flea market last month, i found this unique marshmallow tin.
i loved the colors and knew exactly what i would use it for. can you imagine buying a tin full of marshmallows? we did a bit of research and the tin is from the 1940s to 1950s. i also bought some succulents at the flea market to plant in the tin.
first, i sprayed the inside of the tin with a flexible rubber coating to prevent leaking and rust. once it was dry, i planted the succulents.
right now it's home is on my dining room table. i'm hoping to find a few more tins to fill with succulents.

Oh my heck, how cute is that?! I'm a sucker for anything vintage. I'm not very good at decorating with it like you have, but I still love it. :) New follower here. Yay for being blog friends!!
