Me: Yes, very good for you. Full of.. um... fish oils!
Hubby: You're going to take a photo of them aren't you?
Me(feigning innocence): A photo??
Hubby: For your blog.
I think that man knows me too well.
Sometimes the packaging is reason enough.

Funny conversation! You could always take the fish oil capsules, but they wouldn't be nearly as photogenic. Very cute packaging (considering what's inside the tin).
That is a seriously cute tin. I love the colors and the little fishy border! You have a great eye! Sadly, I do not like sardines anymore after being obsessed with them for my entire second pregnancy. Tablets it is, for me.
My hubby is always rolling his eyes up at me when I end up spending loads of incessantly clicking away at everything (that's why he looks really...er...comfortable in his tux!).
It's a relief to know that there are more bemused hubbies of bloggers out there. Maybe a support group should be set up for them :)
yummy - sardines on hot buttered toast (got me through my second pregnancy too Krista). Had to laugh at the guilty tone to your part of the conversation - same thing happens here - H keeps walking in on me when I'm staging mini photo shoots - makes me awfully self concious! Still, I say it's important work, we're disseminating ideas, creating lively debate, encouraging new interests and taking pictures of wonderful sardine tins :)
My husband loves these tins - in fact I think you photographing them is nothing strange at all - in fact richie loves great packaging of anything - but there is always something about fish tins!!
G now asks before he eats or touches anything whether it has been photographed. At times he thinks I'm a freak and then posts like yours show up and show them to him to prove I'm not alone!
It is worrying when you're a blogger how you start seeing everything through a lense isn't it? Get this - I had a dream the other night that I was at an Indian wedding - all glitz and gamour and I was saying "I don't have my digital camera and it would make such a good post"!! Crazy......
HAHAHAHAHAHA! How many times have I had a conversation like that with LBH?!?!?!?!?! I'm not kidding though, that is one of the best looking sardine cans I have ever seen.
It is a lovely tin! my husband just doesn't 'get' my blog but then I can't see why he surfs forums about his car?! That for me is the fabness of blogging that something that so appeals to you that no one around you might appreciate, you can blog about and we all 'get it' and share the appreciation!
Oh my god... this exact conversation happened to me and my boyfriend last night. Well, except it wasn't sardines, it was some other random thing. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Oh, here is the big question:
* did you buy the sardines JUST so that you could take a picture and blog about them?
or
* did you actually buy them, intending to eat them?
:)

those are cute! i'd totally buy those!
because my husband is a FREAK and will eat a container of sardines with his lunch. ewwwwww...

I have never seen sardines packaged so attractively...and that sounds like a conversation I would have with my husband.

I would *so* do the same thing. You know I would. But then I would have to find a neighbourhood cat to accidentally eat the contents.
Posted by: Megan | 28 March 2007 at 20:43
that conversation sounds very familiar!!!
I hate sardines. But that box is very very cute.
Posted by: monica | 28 March 2007 at 20:59
Your husband knows you have a blog?
Posted by: Angel Jem | 28 March 2007 at 21:16
We could have had that exact same conversation at our house.
Posted by: kirsty | 28 March 2007 at 22:51
That tin was just crying out for a photo!!! Love packaging.... it makes what is inside so much better! T

Yummy sardines and gorgeous tin!

Your husband is back! Oh I do hope he brought you a lovely present
(sardines, mixed with mayo on toast - yummmy!)

That is such a cute container...I use to love sardines when growing up!

When you FINALLY come to visit I can show you our "pretty food cabinet" with glass doors.
Posted by: nuttnbunny | 30 March 2007 at 00:44
this sounds familiar...I usually get a knowing smile and then some eye rolling when I start taking pics of "things"...he loves me really!
But, what a lovely shot!

I love sardines! When I was a kid we used to eat them on Saltine crackers. I've never seen such a pretty can of sardines though
Posted by: Jennifer | 30 March 2007 at 22:35

HAHAHAHAHAHA! How many times have I had a conversation like that with LBH?!?!?!?!?!
I'm not kidding though, that is one of the best looking sardine cans I have ever seen.

But the little fishy border is so cute. I've not had sardines for years, but now I fancy some...

Oh! The package is so nice...but how come I've never seen it around here? :)
My husband is the same ... sometimes I'm even sort of intimidated, ah!
