These Vintage Inspired Tins Are A Must Have For Summer Travel

Raise your hand if you’ve used an empty breath mint tin to hold pills or credit cards while on travel! I know I have. I recently threw enough hair vitamin gummies in an old mint tin for a trip to the Bahamas so that I didn’t have to pack the larger plastic container. And, as a knitter, little tins serve to hold notions, scissors, tape measures, and darning needles, too. So when we received an email from a small woman-owned business with some really adorable retro-inspired tins, we jumped on them! Our first order of these sold out immediately, so we just had to restock even more of them in our second order. Our customers reported back that they were excited to have something more attractive than their Altoids cans. A lot of us have been using Altoids tins to store things.

We have 13 adorable retro prints in stock! These tins are made from hand-poured resin and make a beautiful and practical gift or keepsake. They come in two sizes as well. The larger can hold credit cards, cash, jewelry, etc., while the smaller works well for buttons, pins or pills, and vitamins. What will you put in yours?

Danielle, owner of the fibre space shop, has been knitting since the age of six or so, when she completed her first project – a Cabbage Patch doll scarf. A Pittsburgh native with a degree in international development, she moved to the D.C. area to find a job and quickly established a career in non profit management and fundraising. For extra cash, she decided to turn her hobby into a job and taught knitting classes in the evening at area shops. With a heavy dose of sarcasm and a tough love style of teaching, Danielle quickly developed a following of students – busy D.C. professionals looking for a creative outlet. In October 2006, she struck out on her own with Knit-a-Gogo, Inc. – offering knitting classes and events all over the D.C. metro area.  Before she knew it, Knit-a-Gogo had grown out of control and Danielle moved to the next natural step – a full service yarn shop. In July 2009 fibre space was born and has been rockin’ ever since. When she isn’t behind the scenes with a mocha in hand, Danielle is hanging with her daughter or lobbying for small business needs at City Hall.
