Found:
One paper sack full of old tart tins.
Some are marked "Sweden".
Some say, "Made in W. Germany".
A few had a bit of rust.
All of them needed a good scrubbing.
Tin....beautiful tin.
Tomorrow Dad is taking me to a giant yard sale
in the Weeki Wachee parking lot...

A bag full . . . What a great find!
I have some rusty tins from France.. haven't decided what to do with them... I've had them about 3-years.. so what will you do with yours...
Weeki Wachee since I was in middle school... about 45 years ago! The mermaids performed "Wizard of Oz"... what a wonderful memory you've stirred up in me! Have a fund day with Dad and the mermaids!

Hi Laura, what a fabulous find. I remember those from way back. We even had some that we would make blancmange set in, in all different shapes. Thanks for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris

I just got some of those too...yours have a very lovely patina!
Wish they could talk ~ think of the stories they could tell (:
Sorry but your post has brought out my British Carry-On sense of humour and I have to do this; 'A sack full of tarts'? Oo-er missus!
Right, now that's out of the way - An exciting find. Must have been very satisfying cleaning them up.
Have a great time at Weeki Wachee. xx
Hey girl...love those tins. I've slowly accumulated quite a collection myself.
Have fun at the sale. wow, Weeki Wachee sure brings back memories!
Hope to see ya soon,

Great find!

Hi Laura,
Weeki Wachee is that in Silver Springs? That sounds so familiar to me. What great tins! I vision many projects coming soon from you, with these beautiful tins. After all, you have so much free time. Ha, Ha. Lucky Girl!! Thanks for your sweet comment Friend. My creativity is like a roller coaster these days. Hubby says, " What are you doing now?" They don't get it do they? And never will!
Have a great week. Looking forward to the Weeki finds!
Happy Valentine's Day :)

Love that you found vintage German heart shaped tins!
Dear Laura I'm wishing you a very happy Valentine's day today! I know it can only be wonderful spending it at Evi's home who sure will spoil her friends again with lovely decorations, handmade treats and yummy food. I'm sitting here sick with a cold but in spirit I'll be there with all of you!
xoxo~ Carola
You make everything looks so beautiful Laura! I wish I know about that yard sale. Did you find any treasures??
I love anything tin too...and your tart tins are great!
I like tins as well specially the one that remind me of my mum's "Madeleines"
I would like to know how what camera are you using to capture these gorgeous shots ~ I am working on macro at the moment with a 'cheapy' camera and I think it is time that I invest on something more decent...
so thanks for letting me know

Hi Laura, I grew up in central Florida and loved Weeki Wachee as a child. I always wanted to be one of their mermaids! I love the tart tins. Hugs, Sherry
LOVE those adorable little tins.. I think I'd better start watching for a few too. I think I NEED them. :-)
