I have several of these little vintage tins.
They make great storage for saved seeds.
Label your seeds with the variety and date harvested.
Store in a cool, dry location.

Those are so cute! I didn’t have anything so nice to store my seeds in, but having a collection of pill bottles from the pharmacy I couldn’t return I used them.
Oh, good use of those throw aways! 🙂
Three cheers for seed saving Stacey. Mine tend to go in little brown envelopes, but I like your tins better 🙂
Yes, I am getting so much better about seed saving! Except the cold is nipping at my ankles and I’m behind on EVERYTHING!
Thanks for the reminder that I need to harvest seeds from those marigolds I planted with seeds from you.
I’ve even gone back to the compost pile and grabbed seeds when I forget!
Your garden treasure while not fancy, makes for wonderful vignettes. Those seem like big seeds, what were they from? I spots some old film canisters the other day, they might have been useful for this too.
The seeds are the dwarf sugar grey heirlooms….love the colors they dry!
Film canisters would be perfect.
I have envelopes, but I really really really love those tins! I am going to keep my eyes open for some in our second hand shops. Maybe someone will have made a donation! 🙂 But the main idea…save those seeds. Great reminder.
I got these little tins at an auction, and they were filled with watch maker pieces parts! Maybe that’s what their intended use was!
At a local cooking store here, they sell those little tins with a clear top for spices–they make good seed saver jars too!
