Spice tins and announcing the giveaway winner...

Sara from ALL THINGS VINTAGE!!!!!  Congratulations Sara!  

So a few posts ago I mentioned some old spice tins....I saw this idea in the last Martha Stewart Living magazine---- using them to store pencils and pens.
How cute is that?!?!?!  I have to tell you the funniest part of this story is that I showed this idea to my husband and he says "Where in the world are you going to get a bunch of old spice tins????"
;-)
Seriously--- you would think by now he'd know better....
Not 2 or 3 days later my Dad calls "Hey you wouldn't be interested in some old spice tins would you???"
So anyways I used some magnets I had on hand and superglued them to the back...
I pulled the large flat ones off of the ugly blue plastic holder I was using before and promptly threw the plastic part in the trash.  They worked the best but I only had two.
And just to give you an idea how old these are....
