I had to go grocery shopping yesterday and had apples on my list. That transferred over to today's theme for the challenge. Apples!
Apple Jill Apple Juice. I have had this can forever and it holds my vintage drinking straws.
A vintage tin with apple design. It holds my stash of thimbles in my studio.
A teeny apple tape measure.
A milk glass apple jar with lid.
Thread covered satin apples. I use these for crafting.
One large apple jar with lid. One tiny wooden apple.
I had a couple of the tiny wood apples and thought the apple was perfect for this little vintage shcool photo project.
This is a great paper banner that I picked up years ago at an estate sale. It is meant to be strung on a string for display. Each letter is about 10 inches tall.
This vintage apple box that I brought home goodies from a recent estate sale even qualified for this post.
If you have an idea for a future collection challenge, leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show me your collection of ____". What will next week be?
Eeeeeeeeek! I didn't think I could ever classify something as common as apples as cute. But those honeycombs and that box are so sweet! But my favorite is the Back to School banner. Awesome!

I'm thirsty for apple juice now or maybe a crunchy apple just to eat LOL. Great post! I have a set of those apple tins and I just love them. Love the honeycomb and satin apples. What a fun box to bring home goodies in!
Nice touch with the apple and worm card at the end :-)

Love that mini school photo with the tiny apple. Such a sweet picture. I'm a sucker for honeycombs but my favorite is the Back to School banner. Super neat!

I would have been so excited to have seen that apple juice can when I was little - my name was never on anything!! Who am I kidding - I'd still be excited to find that!! Hah!!!

Such cute apples. Love the measuring tape. When I was a kid I had an apple made of wood. The top came off, and inside was a roulette wheel and tiny ball. A spike came up from the center so you could spin the wheel. Should you ever find such a thing I will buy it from you in a flash!!!

So cute -- all of it -- although I especially love the apple tape measure. Interesting comment from Annette too. I have to wonder what other fruity collections you might have? Cherries? Berries?
