Vintage tin cans

New tin cans!

Thrifting

Family savings

We saved up enough for our family vacation. This time we're going on a short city trip. To London, YAY!

Next Wednesday we'll be taking the Eurostar highspeed train from Brussels to London St. Pancras. We're all very excited to go!

Coin puzzle

I thrifted this tin can at a flea market. It's a teaching aid to help kids learn to calculate money, more specific coins. Before the Euro the Dutch currency was the Dutch Guilder. The coins were 1 cent, 5 cents (stuiver), 10 cents (dubbeltje), 25 cents (kwartje), 1 guilder, and the rijksdaalder which was 2,5 guilders.

Now that my kids receive pocket money and learn to calculate I realise how difficult it is for them.

Vintage tin cans from the UK

About a month ago I posted about the giveaway I won over at Things to make and do and what Jane Housham had sent me which accompanied my price. 

It's time I showed you some of the beautiful tin cans from up close. I just love the instant collection she gave me!

I absolutely adore these!

Vintage photographic material

Seem like such a long time ago that we used films, photographic paper and light bulbs like these. I used to hate working in the dark room. I was never any good at it. I didn't have the patience for it. I prefer Instagram!
