i will always love you marks and sparks whilst you make amazing biscuit tins...

custard cream tin from marks and spencers

the morning started with the usual hubbub of waterloo, this time via marks and sparks (that's marks and spencer to those unfamiliar with the friendly name!) to collect something healthy(ish) for lunch....actually if i remember right it was very healthy and delicious...a quinoa, blueberry and mango salad...anyway i digress.  whilst queuing to pay for the healthy salad i spotted a wall of these amazing biscuit tins and just had to leave the queue and collect one.  maybe you can tell from the picture - the front of the tin is raised so it is literally like a giant custard cream.  wonderful.  this is my third biscuit tin from marks and they are all charming.  so thanks for putting a smile on my face and please please please keep making these wonderful nostalgia tins as i need such beauties to store my writing paper, ribbons and threads in.  thank you.
