It's A TUMS Day

TUMS Pot-o-Gold.
Sounds like the Pot of Gold theme a chocolate company is using now.

I purchased this vintage TUMS metal tube at an antique market.
I loved the chartreuse green, the rust and the fact that the cap was intact.
I had visions of it holding secret messages or a picture or two. After trying to attach it to project after project it became clear to me that I want to keep it.
Today I drilled two small holes into it's sides and completed this cute necklace.

I have not selected what will go into the container yet.
For now, I will just enjoy looking at it on this display.
The star blanks are from Vintaj and the metal flowers are from Dove of The East.

When I say the title of your post I thought "O.k. she was so nervous on the shopping channel she's had to take tums." You see tums would not be strong enough for me. You were amazing. I didn't buy anything, I just admired your abilities.
