Thrift Storage

I was recently on the hunt for a new stand for out tv. This hunt included two Petaluma thrift stores, RecycleTown, Cotati thrift stores..it was a very fun day! I didn't end up finding the stand that day, but did come across the St Vincent De Paul in Rohnert Park with a 50% off sale! As I wandered around all the fun lil' knick knacks, toting a basket full of artwork and gadgetry..I came upon a most lovely site! 41 spice bottles marked 5 cents a piece!!! I bought them all for 2 1/2 cents each!! Happy Dance!! I immediately got the itch to go home and organize and label!!




And coincidentaly, my favorite blogger Cathe Holden at Just something I Made, posted a few weeks ago a great post on glitter storage. I had some of the labels that she created and generously posted for her readers to use. I cut them out and got to labeling...:)




Much to my surprise, some of the bottles had shaker tops...this should be fun for big projects..:)


and voila...from this;



{these little pots are cute..o but the mess when you knock into them!}

to this;


On the shelf and ready to go!!

  1. Where can I find Recycle Town? I don't think I saw it on my thrift tour of Petaluma. It sounds fabulous. I love what you did with these jars. What an incredible steal. I'm going to add you to my Sonoma County blog list.

  3. Quite a lucky find! I like to see the glitter so frequently used in other craft posts- I'm inspired to use the ones I have on hand!
