I can't find any suitable coffee/tea/sugar containers, these are the closest to what I am after but not perfect due to the wear on them, plus they are a lil tacky I know

I want cool, retro, funky, kitsch cannisters, help me find some please!

Well I love retro vintage shabby galvanised enamel kitchenalia along with the best of them...but those don't do it for me I'm afraid.

They're not kitsch enough

I've seen a few recently in TK Maxx.

Mary I have had a look on Rockett St George's website and Dotcomgiftshop but couldn't see anything really. But you might see something you like on there.

thanks for those ideas I think I will go for some Emma Bridgewater polka dot ones if I can't find anything else.

Have you seen the Orla Kiely ones for Target? They were made for Target (American store) but seem to be a few on ebay if you search Orla Kiely.

mmm I do like those pear ones, it's just all in US though I need to get over my fear of worldwide ebay!

I bought the emma bridgewater enamal, kind of red and pink heart ones, they don't wear particularly well.....

I have seen some quite cute ones in Next (!) they are the garden party ones.
