Tin Easter Basket

  
A couple weeks back I found this J. Chein & Co. lithographed tin Easter basket at a flea market.
I think it's very happy here in it's new home,
where it currently holds all sorts of odds and ends in my craft space.

    I recall things similar to those! I think what I had were cheapo versions from TG&Y, which was my Mom's major Easter headquarters. Nothing as cute as that darling yellow basket.

    Happy Easter. That was a great find for your craft space, which looks neat, tidy and well organised not like my study.
