One thing that I like about my blog is that I don't really think you can ever guess what I will come up with next on my posts. Sure I have Collection Challenge Tuesday or Estate Sale Friday...but you are never quite sure what collection I will choose or what my estate sales will produce.
Case in point. Last friday I found BLUE tin foil. I had it in a photo amongst the finds from my estate sale and mentioned it in my post. I had quite a few people comment on the tin foil.
So I am sharing a bit more detail today on the quirky BLUE fin foil. This is the box in all its blue glory.
As you can see it is a much smaller roll than the Costco size roll I currently use.
When I bought it at the estate sale I just tossed it in my basket. It wasn't until I got home and read the box, that I discovered how charming this foil really was. Look here...colorful corn and golden spuds.,,,serve 'em in COLOR!
Or how about this easy way to organize the fridge or sandwiches? It came in three colors and suggests gold for cheese or red for ham. How about that!
Original price - 2 boxes for 45 cents.
So if you made it this far...you have read an unusual post...about colored fin foil. You never know what you will find on my blog.
Happy Day.
Interesting..interesting..very interesting...lol
I'm copying that guy off of Laugh-In....

Do you remember when they produced the colored saran wrap? I used to see it in all these pretty shades and loved it. Great to use to wrap Christmas or Easter cookies in. I never see that anymore do you?

And this would be why you are my favorite blog. Only a special person can find a box of foil "charming". You brighten my day!

Laurie,
When I first saw your Reynold's Wrap Jr. I imagined you making the sweetest foil wrapped "favor baskets" for me and the rest of your blog readers. "The kind with dresdens, German Scrap and Chenille handles." Maybe some mercury glass beads too. I am teasin' of course. Have a wonderful evening.

Somewhere in the back of my poor feeble brain I've seen this before. What a find. And of course, I'd color coordinate my cheese. Wouldn't you? And nuthin' says lovin' like blue foil covered corn for the 4th of July!!! Ah...those were the days, my friend. - Have a great one! - Kathy

If you ever made foil dinners everyone could have a different color so they wouldn't get mixed up! Colored foil is a great idea! Mimi

Cute post. Do I dare tell my hubby I was reading an interesting article of tin foil? Ah...knowing me, he wouldn't think anything of it! It's an interesting bit of Americana!
Hope you're having fun in Spokane!
