Adorable. That's what they are: adorable. I found these little vintage tins at the Salvation Army last week, cleaned them up, and... Well, as I said: adorable. Though they were probably intended for biscuits or cookies or something, I thought they would make good boxes for notions in my new (and IMPROVED) more better organized studio. 
I don't know about you, but I'm always searching for boxes to store things and what I usually come up with is something plastic and boring and environment-wrecking from Target or Ikea. Obviously, these are far superior. And instead of trying to avoid making eye contact with some plastic monstrosity, each time I look at them, they'll make me smile.
On top of their obvious appeal (adorability!), they have a secret and wonderful feature: a spring action opening. So you just "unlatch" the front, so to speak, and the old spring action pops them open and keeps them that way. So sweet it makes your tooth ache!
Come to my studio and see for yourself.
