I bought this little selection of pamphlets and wholesale catalogues yesterday, which list goods supplied by Sharps and Peek Freans during the mid 1950's.
I know there are a lot of vintage tin collectors out there, so I thought some might be interested in seeing the special Christmas presentation editions...Perhaps you may recognise some from your own collections?...

There's a few special festive novelties too, including boxes of crackers...

And treat containers.

My favourite tin for the season is this one made by The International Biscuit Co. I use it for storing mince pies of course! ;-))

Whilst I'm here, I'd just like to mention a fabulous giveaway prize that I won from Cape Cod Washashore. It arrived for me yesterday and I had such fun opening the box, which had travelled across the ocean to my door. There were added surprises, such as a huge selection of the most beautiful little yoyo's (or Suffolk puffs as we generally call them in the UK.) I can't wait to start using them in some of my projects. Treasures indeed :)

I'll be back very soon with my Christmas post for the season, hopefully including some photos of the decorations around our home for anyone free to stop-by.
Look after yourself,

Thank you for sharing. Those are the type of things I love the most
ReplyDeleteHello Niki, The tins sent me off on a journey back to my childhood in the early sixties. I remember every christmas getting a tin of sweets with gorgeous pictures on the front. How I wish I had kept them now.
ReplyDeleteTakes me back. My Grandparents had the tin bottom right of the third photograph, in fact they had two. Lost count of how many wonderful goodies I have consumed from those tins.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas.
What memories are invoked when I look at the images from my childhood, thank you for sharing your finds.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway gifts.

I do recognize some of those tins! I believe we had the tin with the roses in my house when I was little. I also recognize the one with the tartan. I never knew you called yoyo's "Suffolk puffs". I like your term much better (it actually sounds more like a confection)! ;)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Niki! Hope you have a wonderful holiday.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
