Kymmery’s entry into our Found Objects Found Art contest…
Hi! I found these items at thrift stores in my area! I love putting together little vintage gatherings!! Have a GREAT day!
OMG, those things are in my kitchen right now. Substitute an ancient tin of dry mustard for the anise. The mustard inside isn’t that old, I keep replacing it as it gets used up.

As far back as I can remember, early 70’s, my mom had a tin of dry mustard and a tin of rosemary among other seasonings – which she aparently never used, because as other tins were replaced with new ones, these two (from the early 60’s?) never were. When I was setting up my own kitchen a few years back, I took these two tins and put them with my collection of seasonings – it just wouldn’t seem right reaching for the paprika not seeing those two tins next to the bay leaves and pepper corns!

MidCent Keith, the more I do this the more amazed I am at how big the small things are…
