Display Your Hats!

Hats!

Why keep your hats tucked away? Here’s a fun way to both store and display your favorite hats!

I used GRUNDTAL hangers from IKEA, but any hook or large nails/screws would work.

Have a Happy Weekend!

Found Bicycle Basket

Yes. I pulled this forgotten metal bicycle basket out of the actual garbage can while we were walking our dog. My husband looked at me like I was crazy, but I was thrilled! I can see how this, with a little love and reshaping, would make a fabulous addition to our home.

One idea is to hang it in the bathroom to house lightweight items like toilet paper and/or washcloths and hand towels. Another thought was to utilize it in the kitchen for storage of onions/potatoes and the like, after a good cleaning of course! The possibilities are endless….

And, while I was at it, I had to get a picture of Bonsai inside the basket. I mean, really, how cute is this?

Do you have ideas on how to incorporate this item into a home? I’m interested in hearing your thoughts!

Vintage Metal Container

I am a sucker for a lovely, useful vessel. Whether it be glass, metal or any other material, I have a very hard time refusing it. And, around $1-$2  a pop (some as low as .69 cents!), I certainly can’t turn that kind of a deal down! I splurged a little on the white tea tin I found on Etsy ($6). But, it was totally worth it!

I’ve decided to share some of my favorite pieces that I’ve accumulated over the last 6-8 months or so. I find these jars and tins so useful around the kitchen as well as the rest of the home. The glass flip top jars are perfect for food storage. I like to keep my nuts, seeds, snacks, dog treat, and baking items in them. Everything looks much prettier in a glass jar! These metal tins I typically use to contain my numerous teas. However, I have also been know to empty a few containers out and use them at a Craft Show as seen in this post.

The possibilities are endless. Enjoy!
