Eat your oats

If you can't tell already, I love re-purposing things.

When I saw this blog post about re-purposing glass candle jars, it reminded me of this oatmeal I bought from one of my favorite places on earth (Trader Joe's). 

Obviously, I bought it to eat but I also love the look of the can. It's sort of old-fashioned and classic.

So I tried it out as a vase in our foyer...

...and on our kitchen counter...

...and on the bench in the kitchen nook.

The can could also be re-purposed as a jar to hold pens and pencils, makeup brushes, etc.

Thanks for visiting!
