That is just what these little tins exclaimed to
me as I innocently made my way down the
aisle of the 99 Cent Store!






"Very cute, indeed!", I answered, helplessly.






Yes, I am a tad obsessed with this store, but
it's just so fun! It's like the Island Of Misfit Toys!
You get to see things that really didn't
"play well in Peoria!"(for international readers,
that expression is the verbal equivalent of a movie
going straight to DVD and never actually making it
to the theatres! Keep that little gem in your back pocket
for your next appearance on Jeopardy!)





SORRY! I am "digressing" now, I promise!








Apparently, these darling, heart-shaped tins
were intended for individual brownies, and I don't
make brownies (not because I can't, but because
I will eat them...all...so, I don't!). I just knew they
could fulfill their destinies as something other than
receptacles for fattening treats!







I got to work.....





I found that...if you add a few cute
shells..voila! A nice little treat for
a friend!





..bits....




...and bobs....



holders, extraordinaire!






and real-live functional craft
containers!

And @ 99 cents for 24, you can just go WILD!
