Photo Hunters - Theme: Silver
January 27th, 2007 by Toni
I looked all over this week for something silver. Then yesterday sitting at my desk I spied these. Perfect. To you these may look like ordinary containers but to me they represent so much more. You see, I am a container junkie. A place for everything and everything in its place. Which means of course that you must have containers. I even have containers for my containers. My family humors my disorder. This conversation was had a couple of weeks ago during cleanup time.
Dad: “Sister, where does this toy go?”
Sister: “Oh, that goes in the ‘I-don’t-know’ bin.”
Dad: “The ‘I-don’t-know’ bin?
Sister: “Right here (pointing)”
Dad (to me): “The ‘I-don’t-know’ bin?!
Me (very seriously): Yes. It’s for all those toys that don’t have matches… or don’t fit with any…thing…. else…. (trailing off).
Dad (slow nod) : “Riiiight.”
Anyway, my entry for this week are three silver containers which I picked up over a month ago on sale for a buck each at the supermarket. They used to hold Hershey’s kisses but that is obviously not why I bought them. For proof of that fact, I offer another silver picture:
Two still sealed bags of kisses. (The third bag did get opened but only because we had a guest in our house that weekend and I needed a tasty treat to offer.)
(Oh, I almost forgot. The pop bead count was 25 ft of round and 8 ft of irregulars.)
Did you play?
Great job on the theme. I need containers if you have too many! Hershey kisses ~now that’s clever. Thanks for stopping by.
Well, now those are interesting containers. You know, you can keep the containers and I will take the “kisses”!!!
Love the silver mesh!! And, mine would not have any kisses in them either because they would have ALL been eaten.
Mine’s up!
Those metal containers are neat to bead on to jazz them up! And how you have two bags of unopened kisses is beyond my imagination! Never in my house!
Thanks for stopping by today. Happy Saturday!
I love the silver containers. Great photo for this weeks theme. I love that you got them for a dollar too. What a find!
I have an “I don’t know” container, too! I call mine the “extras” container, but it serves the same purpose. I love your silver containers and the Hershey kisses. They wouldn’t have survived unopened that long in our house!
Those are lovely silver containers.
And yummy Hersey’s kisses. 
Great choices for the theme.
Have a good day.
Thanks for stopping by.
I am going to have to get a container to put the dog biscuits in. Usually one large bag lasts two months or so but currently I have gone through two bags in a month. Last night I figured out why. There is a gopher mouse or mole or something getting in under the garage door, climbing the storage bin and eating the biscuits. It consumed a fourth of a bag in two days and for the first time I saw it. It is bigger than a mouse but then it has consumed two bags of dog biscuits in a month so it should be a bit obese by now. Currently figuring out how to get rid of it.
I have a couple of I don’t know containers - not quite as fancy as yours. Great shots. Happy weekend.
I enjoy collecting containers to store things in. I like your “I don’t know” bin, lol. Great idea, I may need to use it.
Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend,

Cool containers and now I want some chocolate!
We could use some of those bins here. Our desk is sooooooooooo messy!
Mine’s up too
Lovely silver containers. I love buying cute containers too esp. for my son to keep his toys as organized as possible.
Mine is up too.
