WOYWW
This week at woyww I thought I'd share with you all the edible containers I've collected that are on my desk storing my stash........Recycling is what I'm doing( thats my excuse for eating more) but I did enjoy eating the contents, the shortbread tin now holds my bottles of glimmer mist, I adore shortbread but I only ever treat myself to it at Christmas, the bean tin (must get round to altering that) holds my Sakura pens and the container with stickles in originally contained a Summer fruits trifle which just happens to be on offer at the moment hence I've got a couple of these containers ....yum yum, they are so handy, so I may need another container/trifle again this week....lol.

When you sais "edible containers" I actually for a minute thought that you could eat the container... doh! And.. your bean tin needs a LindaE makeover :O)) x

Oh you little eco warrior you, keep up the great recycling.. i also love shortbread but never seen it in such a cool tin!
Hi ya
great way to recycle, eat goodies then use pot for storage, now where is that box of chocs!, have great day, sue,
what great recycling containers! I keep my Copics in the clear plastic buckets that my laundry tabs come in and have flowers in an empty cracker box!
hugs, annie x
I love that idea. The only tins I would end up with would be baked beans courtesy of my DH!!

Oooh I love tins and have a lovely little collection of them too - must show them one week! Great desk and keep on eating - you can always find more things to store in the tins!
Edible containers are just the best ... once I ate about 42 pots of chocolate pudding because I wanted the little glass bowls lined up in my craft room ... not all at once you understand :0)
I love shortbread! Thats a cool tin :0)
*hugs* Heather x

Great recycling, nearly as good as my glue tubes!! Love the bus tin, now, no one in their right mind could ever throw that away!Have a great WOYWW!!

Love the shortbread tin. Way to recycle with a purpose. Even better that you were able to eat the contents beforehand. Organization at its finest! Happy WOYWW.
ooh cool containers.. must show you my box collection one day!! lol
Mmmmmmm trifle....want some now!lol
Cool use of the containers. Mmmm shortbread.
Thanks for the pics, love the great recyling ideas.
Waste no want not! I always save tins! Hugs Pam x
Oh my you got me hungry now. Must eat some sweets! That's the creativeness in us, recycling things nobody sees the beauty in
Have a lovely day!

great desk love al those pens - ooo choc yes please ;O)
Hi there, wow what a great tin! I couldnt work at Thorntons, I would eat all of the stock, I love their choccy! On that note, am off to search some out, thanks for sharing, hugs Heidi xx
Shortbread is my fav too and I only treat myself at Christmas too well actually my Dad normally buys me a tin.....why do we do that??
xx
Great desk!! Would love you to try for my candy! It's Here Hugs Tina xx
Give me more edible containers !! Great stuff !
That would be a good place to hide the chocolate by letting everyone think they are now craft storage...
Thanks for the snoop!

fab recycling idea, Happy WOYWW! Thank you for visiting my blog and sharing your workspace. i agree - i want more stamps
thanks for sharing your crafty space today and love your recycling containers...hugs kath xxx
No one could throw the bus tin away. Interesting to see the different packing tins, boxes, etc. around the world also. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed seeing your recycled tins. One of the things i enjoy most is going to the thrift store to look for neat storage items or things to re art ! :) Nan
Crikey Daniele, when I started reading this post I thought you meant you were going to eat the containers! I was relieved to read it was just the contents... and they did sound yummy!
Chrissie
I had a little chuckle at your desk very clever. I always look at things to recycle but after a little time I say why have I kept that ! Good luck and Hugs Jo. xxx
I looked at the pic first and really hoped u weren't intending to alter that bus - its ace already! Most of the containers in the cake section of the supermarket (muffins, cornflake cakes etc) r great for this.. THATS y I always make a beeline for that aisle, of course!
I have just rescued a bean tin for storing pens in. Just got to liberate a few more to get myself sorted. Trifle doesn't count as pudding if you need it for the container btw!
Oooh love that tin :0)

Ooh I posted last week about my notebook collection - you should call this collection a small obsession too- although they are useful! Anyhelp you need emptying the next lot - call me!
Hi Daniele - how lucky are you, working for Thorntons - their Alpinis are to die for!
Love your recycling ideas - particularly the biscuit tin. I suddenly feel quite hungry .....!! Thanks for visting my workspace today!
Hugs, Sylvia x
Daniele, thank you for stopping by my blog! I love how you recycle all those tins - great re-usage.
My dad loves Thorntons. Whenever I went to London (I had a boyfriend in London back in the 80's when I was still living in Germany) he asked me to bring him a box of Thornton's fudge...
My favourite type of recycling!
i also have two bean tins waiting to be altered and got fed up of them sitting there reminding me i'd not done it - so hid them in my cupboard - so, they still need doing but i don't have the constant guilt trip all day everyday LOL
Love to see what you do with yours when you get round to it!
Paula x x x

Julie
