A lot of the stuff in those jars are from the thrift stores too. I have spent a few years collecting all that good stuff and it is so handy now to just twirl the layers and see what will work for a particular project. You know the old say, out of sight, out of mind.........very true.....you just forget about it but not now.

It Used to Hold Candy and Such.......Now It Holds Good Ole' Junk Stuff
I walked into a thrift store last year and from afar I saw this wonderful old stand that probably used to hold candy or such but all I saw was what a great thing to hold all my junk stuff. It is five layers and six containers for each layer and it swivels around too. I couldn't get to it fast enough. And to my delight when I went to pay for it, she told me that it was a 50% off day.........oh be still my heart.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cool find! I want one :-)
ReplyDeleteI keep saying I am going to get organized...one of these days! Maybe this would help with that endeavor! I like to collect stuff too...creating for "mixed media" means you save everything!
What a great way to save space! I am going to keep my eye out for one of these...
Thanks for posting! Love your blog :-)

Wowza, what a find! A girl after my own heart, one who shops at a thrift store! lol. Yep, you never know what you'll find. I totally agree on "if you don't see it you won't use it" theory. Which explains why my work area is such a mess....
