I have square, round, octagonal, heart, star, fluted, rectangle shaped tins. Pie tins, cake tins, muffin pans, ring tins, you name it I pretty much have it.
I bought a few tins on a trip to the US, having made quite a number of purchases space was at a premium, so trying to cram everything into my bags (60kg's worth) I unwrapped all the packs on knickers I had bought and fitted then into all the Wilton fluted Muffin pans I had bought, then flipped the pans over and did the same from the back. Just as well my bags never got opened at customs they would have found knicker muffins.
When we built this new house I was going to have a cupboard with slots in made for all my tins but decided against it as I would have had to add another pantry and I allready had two. I settled for a large deep shelf in the pantry. But it's not nearly big enough so the tins have migrated to the pantry floor as well.
I can't really see this obsession stopping as if I see a new shaped tin that I think I might use I just have to have it......my theory is (and I'm sticking to it) if you haven't got it you can't use it.....RIGHT!!!! and the ones that are pictured are only the tins..........the silicone ones are a whole other story.

Jan - my name is lynley and I am a cookaholic - pleased to meet you! I am soo jealous of your tins - I want those loaf tins to be nested in MY cupboard, and you just can't get sponge roll tins like that anymore!! Why? oh why? did I believe them when they told me I would feel better when I had decluttered?? It's just not true....
and your son is very very wrong - the whole thing seems very reasonable to me - perhaps therein lies the problem???
Loving the blog
Like Lynley, I am so jealous of your collection as well!!!! When we designed the kichen for our new house I had to tell the kitchen designer that i needed space for my cookie cutters and cupcake cases - I'm not sure she believed me. Let me know if you are ever having a garage sale!!!!
