Giving a Vintage Kitchen Canister New Life

"At first glance, this vintage kitchen canister didn’t look especially promising. I spotted it at the thrift store, tucked among tools and miscellaneous items.


At some point, it had been repurposed to store nails—and in true Goodwill fashion, it had been thoroughly taped to within an inch of its remaining sad life. Functional, yes. Charming? Not so much.


And in true empath fashion, I felt sorry for it, so I brought it home."  Comment from Little Vintage Cottage


Articles like this one makes me happy.  As time goes on, I fear that vintage items are just tossed out.  It especially makes me sad since items from my childhood that I wish I had now were tossed out like trash.  I guess this ideology has made me a hoarder!
