Mike and I went "treasure hunting" at the flea market at the Tulsa Fairgrounds last Saturday, and I came across these cute crates, which are PERFECT for hanging on the wall behind my craft table to store supplies:

Here are close-up views of each of the crate shelves:

The baskets inside of the first and last crate shelves hold some of my CTMH stamps:

The center crate shelf holds my ink pads within easy reach:

I scored the cute little pottery pitcher above for only three bucks!! It houses my antique spools, which will eventually have pretty ribbon on them.
The final crate shelf holds more CTMH stamps as well as my buttons in an old canning jar. I LOVE old canning jars with bale or zinc style lids, and I am constantly buying more to store stuff in. (It's kind of an addiction...I wonder if there is a 12-step program for hoarding old jars - teehee!)

I scored the old cooking pot for only three bucks as well, and I added a cute fabric garter to the outside of it. The pot holds my CTMH acrylic blocks for stamping.
Well, that's it for the craft room "sneak peek" this morning...stay tuned for more photos to be posted in the near future!!
Thanks for looking! Have a blessed day!
Love what you have done! Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa!! I am anxious to get it finished up so I can work on my scrapbooks again! :)
DeleteMy misson this summer is to organize my craft room, again! It seems to be an ongoing quest:)
ReplyDeleteI hear ya, Pam! Ditto here! :)
DeleteLove the crates! Great find!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Can you believe that I only paid $4.00 each for the??? The lady that I bought them from said she had several more at home that she would be bringing to future flea markets to sell, so you might want to check out her booth some Saturday! :)
DeleteWell, if there IS a 12-Step Program for hoarding vintage canning jars (and the zinc lids!), let me know and we'll go together! I have a huge collection and keep adding to it ... I love 'em!
ReplyDeleteWhew! Glad to know that I'm not alone in my quest for old jars with zinc lids, Deb! ;)
DeleteLOVE the new goodies you found! I have a HUGE old jar that stores my buttons and I love it! :) Now I will be on the lookout for crates...such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stacie!! I originally thought I'd just stack the crates on the floor, but then decided to hang them, and I'm really pleased with how they look on the wall. :)
DeleteLove the updates! Can't wait to see the whole room. :) Some day mine will be clean enough to photograph. Seems it's always covered in a creative mess. lol!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gloria! I worked a little bit more on my room this weekend, and it's coming together nicely! Stay tuned for more pics!! :)
DeleteLove the crates,the jars,and the darling abacus (spelling?). I can't wait to see the rest of your space!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Justine! I've had the abacus for years...I discovered it in the trash when a classroom at school was being cleaned out and I just HAD to rescue it! :) I worked on my room a little bit this weekend, but I've still got a few touches left before I post more pics...stay tuned!
