Last week was a bit crazy. It started with Edward’s first trip to the cinema, his first photo shoot for Mother & Baby magazine, a trip to the Gurgle blog awards (where I came third in my category and won a £250 Mothercare voucher) and ended with lunch with Elmo. Crazy, amazing and quite tiring for a toddler and a mummy with a big bump. But somehow I managed to squeeze in a trip to the shops.
Oops, I couldn’t help myself but I came home with two more vintage jigsaws at the weekend. I just couldn’t resist their round tins, lovely pictures of vintage-ness and smells (there’s something about old toys!). Edward and I have finished both puzzles and fortunately they were complete. Not bad entertainment for 50p each.
I’m definitely not allowed to get them framed (no more room on Edward’s walls) but I think they look quite good just in their tins alongside some other thrifted finds. How I love the simple things in life.

Beautiful! I haven’t seen any puzzles in tins before, what a lovely way to store them.
Puzzle tins are so clever, the cardboard boxes they usually come in are so easily wrecked. Great finds! x
Those tins are cute and a great way to keep the pieces all together and still look pretty.

Those are truly adorable!
Great!
Really lovely, so unusual in the vintage tins, I love them x
I’ve never seen puzzles in tins before. They look lovely. I must keep my eye out for them now.

Such pretty tins! I love tins and jigsaws so to have a combination of the two sounds fab!
Wow! What a week – congratulations on the award. Those tins are great. Small one is jigsaw obsessed at the moment so I will keep an eye out… I’ve never spotted any before but sometimes you see them everywhere once you know they exist!
Well done at the Gurgles.
I love your little shelf display of vintage toys, it looks great.
Simple things in life must be needed to bring you down from such a full on and glam week
You have had a very full week! Congratulations on doing so well. And finding time to blog about your finds.
Since you are not framing them you can do them again in a few months and it will seem new again.
