Thursday is here again.. so fast right?.. anyway the last couple of weeks, I've been seeing some of you lovely girls sharing their Tin posts and I thought of sharing mine too.. my biscuits vintagey tin came from a sister that I recently got to know.. Hi Kak Khadijah! *wave*wave* She has an online shop selling vintagey items.. and this tin really caught my eyes..
It reminds me of Jane and her beautiful tins.. she is so lucky to find so many beautiful, pretty & lovely tins and so when I saw this tin available for sale, I wanted it too.. the rusty the tin is, the better..
So off I go and email her (Kak Khadijah) and yippeeee.. within seconds, the tin is mine.. what I like most about this tin despite the rusty corners is the label.. Elkes Biscuits Ltd.. a private manufacturer company in England.
I try to find out more about this tin, but I can't find much.. except.. this : -"• Elkes Biscuits established 1924, also a Northern Foods Company has a turnover of circa £60m stg, and is based in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England.
• Elkes are one of the UK’s major Private Label manufacturers of Countlines, Creams and Sweet Biscuits and have an ever increasing portfolio of accounts.
• Elkes supply the UK supermarkets with both branded and private label biscuits including the famous Malted Milk, Digestive and Countline Bars.
• Unique packaging facilities at Elkes enables the packing of creams and sweet biscuits into Value Added Selections, suitable for all outlets.
• The Countline Bars have been one of the success stories in Brand and Private Label development which is undertaken throughout the world." Quoted.
Isn't that great? totally vintagey!.. hehehehehe anyway, I have no idea what to keep in this tin.. but I do know I must have this! for obvious reason of course! so, girls, do visit Suzanne as she is hosting another wonderful Vintage Thingies Thursday.. thank you Suzanne! and have a great day girls!

I like the rusty corners; the more beat-up the better for me!

Great tin!
what pretty roses--and rust--perfectly beautiful!
That is a very cool tin! My aunt was sweet enough to give me a bunch of tins recently, they serve as great decorative and gift items. I can't believe how old this one is!
Thanks for stopping by my blog :).
That is so pretty! It's funny, I love roses on everything but I cannot stand rose plants.
I think they're deceptive. They are like beautiful women with daggers that stab. Just my take on the whole thing...
What a great tin! I also love the rustiness of it. Happy Easter!
Pretty tin in any color.
