Pretty tins for knitting notions // Liberty sewing kit

While my socks make for a lovely souvenir, they're not the only thing I brought back from Paris and London.

Like I mentioned earlier, I promised myself I would start using nice tools dedicated only to knitting. I made good on that promise by picking up a sewing kit that includes pretty scissors at famed department store Liberty, in one of their adorable signature prints. There were several options, but I liked this peacock pattern most.

I am slightly addicted to tea, especially any variety of mint, and when I saw this tin I had to have it. Lots of tea and a pretty box in which to store my knitting tools? Sold. I also stumbled upon some of my favorite candies, Les Anis de Flavigny, at a drugstore, and the tin will be perfect for little things like stitch markers and tapestry needles.
