Vintage Display Box


We are currently collecting vintage crates and boxes to display at the landing at the top of our staircase.
It is coming along slowly, since I can't find the vintage crates at a reasonable price.
But as I was shopping my own home for items to use, I came across this little handmade printers block tray. It doesn't quite work for what I am going for but thought it would look super cute in someones home out there.

I have found a new place to take photos in my house now I am just working on the time of day that I will get the best pictures.
By the time I took these it was too late in the day and had to use indoor lighting.
I think early morning, not my best time of day, but will work best for the pictures.

My plan is to get a ton of pictures taken today and then go sit by myself at the coffeehouse and zone out. Hubby is on toddler duty, I am taking the day off as mom.

I love the way the back of the tray is dark...really works great for display! Makes me think of chalkoarding one! (Is that even a word?) Thanks for stopping by, Amy! The tin you mentioned is just marked Made In England, but I am sure Murray Allen, as well as many other European candy companies used these! How fun to have one from your family! Enjoy your down time today...and the weekend, too!
