This little blue and white Willow Pattern tin that I found this afternoon has quite the carbon footprint. Manufactured at Grumbridge, Bedford, England, presumably with loose leaf tea in it, it was purchased from the Blue Willow Inn Gift Shop, Social Circle, Georgia, USA (see next picture for vintage style price ticket $2.50). It then found its way back across the Atlantic to a charity shop in Grantham, Lincolnshire (empty with just tea dust inside). I’m hoping to upcycle it into vintage tin earrings to give this old lost object renewed purpose. And who knows? They may end up travelling back across the Atlantic again. #savedfromlandfill . . . #repurpose #recyclerepurposereuse #landfilldiversion #upcycling #vintagetin #vintagetinjewelry #willowpattern #willowpatterntin #bluewillowinn #socialcirclegeorgia (at Harrowby, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/COvSqQoBNTc/?igshid=2ipj8a6ego2d
