MINI MARYS

My latest recycling efforts are these little tins, decorated with images from past work or hand painted originals. They are a huge and unexpected success!

Recycling and repurposing have been passions of mine for 50 years. I had a great run with upcycled feed bags turned into useful totes, and when I saw these miniature tins I couldn’t resist them. “Drawing” from years of my “extra” notecards, valentines and calendars. I select, paste and seal the art to make durable, adorable gifts, favors, mini-storage, whatever. (The first time I displayed these tins, at the Hereford (PA) Farm Market, a woman bought 35 of them for her 35 employees!) Think “Customizable”!

Order your tins from our SHOP, or visit Chessacanna in Cockeysville, MD. I’ve also been doing pop-up events around Baltimore. See EVENTS for the dates.

Maybe you have tins you’d like recycled? Maybe you have an inspired use for a special tin? Or a unique stocking stuffer? Contact me anytime, I’d love to hear your ideas.
