Vintage Kitchen Canisters

16 comments:
 These wonderful vintage enamel canisters are so appealing and fun.
They have dozens of uses in the kitchen, bathroom, as office storage and even in the baby's nursery



This old german bread box says "Give us this day, our daily bread"
Something about the shaker simplicity of the plain grey is very appealing, I think

You can find these in so many shapes and sizes and the prices are relatively low
It might be fun to mix in a canister with great graphics
This little blue one is so tattered and worn...I love it
Pink for the baby's nursery...this would be great for diapers

A collection of mixed shapes and colors maybe?
A big blue fish poacher on your coffee table to hold....whatever
I actually purchased one of the items above....can you guess...?

  11. Hmmm, I think you purchased the flour canister. They are all fun though. I particularly like the little cream colored pail with lid and handle.

  13. I think you purchased any one of the ones with writing on them -consider your thing for "signage" but the more I think about it - I think maybe you own them all!! :-)

  14. Well OK enough of my nonsense....I bought the little blue one at the top of the page with the bail handle. But they are all great. I think the fish poacher might have the most potential and you could probably use it if it was in good shape.

    Carol is right, it is surprising that I don't own them all, but a I am making an effort to curtail my need for collections! It's hard!!!!

    thanks for playing along...kelley

  16. Hi Kelley! We definitely share a love of enamelware, girlie! I have one that says "Simple Pleasures" on it that hubby and I call our 'pickin' pot'. We take it with us to the garden to pick veggies for dinner every night. Then there's the big pale blue stew pot, and the elongated serving pot and.....well, you get my drift..... lol! Fun post!
