My neighbor brought this flour bin with her from England when she came to Canada as a bride 75 years ago .Anyway i was given it by her son and my friend Rick painted it for me for all my sewing scrapes maybe 20 years ago.John keeping walking into it and denting it but i thought u might like to see it hugs Carolyn

What a wonderful gift ! You probably think of her, a dear friend, whenever you have quilting scraps.

Thank you for sharing!

Quilty hugs, Bonnie

Wow ! what a treasure!

Wow, what a special gift and treasure! The bear is so precious and love the wording! As someone else mentioned..the dents give it character!

Thanks Suz

It is a neat antique. The spot seems perfect fit for it but I would probably find a safe place for it out of foot range.

That's gorgeous Carolyn. I have an old milk can next to my Television in the lounge that is old too - but not as old as your item. We keep our Christmas and birthday wrapping paper in it!!! Love and blessings Chris
