tin boxes

super cute metal lunch boxes

I don't know how many of you know that I have a cute, little metal lunch box collection. Most of them are newer and I just have found them or been given them over the last few years because I really like them. Recently, however, I have added two really awesome older lunch boxes.

The first is a Mickey Mouse and gang lunch box (from around 1969!) that is rounded on the top and looks like they are on a fire truck. This used to be my mom's pottery tool box, but she gave it up under pressure from my grandma. It is so cute....don't you think?

My newest addition is this Muppet Babies lunch box from 1985. I loved the Muppet Babies. My mom found this lunch box at a antique store in John Day, Oregon (of all places!) Tracey and I have been having fun singing the theme song over the last few days...come on...you know it...
