I'm pretty into old cake tins. I think they're so interesting and can add so much to a simple cake. Here are a few I've picked up recently.
I always remember where these finds come from too, which makes each cake special because I'm baking and thinking about that good memory.
The top one came from Junebug, at their Mad Hatter Show.
Second one down was from a rummage sale in Sandpoint, Idaho this summer. $1!
And the last two I picked up this weekend at the Junk Salvation show in Oregon.
Oh yeah, that reminds me. This weekend I met up with my friend, Heather, in Portland and did some antiquing and collaborating. It's really nice to get out and see the shops and shows that exist outside of my everyday life.
In other news, My Favorite Find is getting closer and closer. The big day is no longer months away. Just days now. Just days! Have you signed up yet?
And the best news? The sun has been shining for several days and that makes me happy. In honor of that, I wore sandals today when I met Colin for lunch. It was 45 degrees, but I didn't care. Spring is in my heart. :)

If only we could convince some of the younger generation to recycle this way!

I love the old tins! I have 2 of your 'Second one down from a rummage sale in Sandpoint, Idaho this summer. $1!' tin which I found here in Sweden. Cool, huh!

I love cake pans, too! I made a yummy cranberry streusel coffee cake in one today--for my Bible study ladies! Fun to make! I used cranberries grown locally (Oregon coast) that I had put fresh in the freezer in the fall. Got to love that sort of find in the freezer in the spring!

Aren't they beautiful? I think I would want to find a way to hang them on a pretty wall papered background ... or use them to store pretty candy ... Valentine's M&M's, peppermints? :)
