Sweet Antique Tin Pail in Original Pinkish-Putty Paint hiking man and dog It's sturdy still and readyI live with the belief that beauty is everywhere if one looks for it, and an old painted tin pail can deliver as much of it as, say a very fine piece of china!

And, especially, the old pinkish taupe paint on it, more satisfying in person. Plus a perfect one to line with a plastic bag and use for picking berries or foraging
