{beautiful souls}

I adore old confectionery and biscuit tins

I never pay more than a few dollars for them

they have so many wonderful uses

at Christmas I gathered a bunch for under the tree

they are perfect for gift giving.....no wrapping required 

they may be old, scratched and dented 

but they are still stunningly beautiful

While photographing these charmers

this quote popped into my mind........

I promise to keep on living as though I expect

to live forever.

Nobody grows old by merely living

a number of years.

People grow old only by deserting their ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin,

but to give up interest wrinkles the soul.

Douglas MacArthur
