I have convinced myself that I like the patina it has become rather than spend a day with a can of Brasso (no matter how artistic the packaging is) wiping it down - only to have it change back in a short time. <br /><br />I like your suggestion about posting pictures of packaging design as I often have a case of blogger's block. My well of ideas is running dry.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-70934802153856481932012-05-22T14:25:30.346+01:002012-05-22T14:25:30.346+01:00It's very Mod looking.

I have a collection of tins and this is one of them :-)<br /><br />Now, thanks for your comment on my blog, it was a beautiful country wedding and indeed very stylish without being pompous. There's a reason for the Argentinian wine: the newly wed couple is going to move to Argentina for a year to work there and learn to Tango.
