It was designed like a staircase, with the idea being that I would be able to read all the labels on the bottles and not have to pull things out. <br />I also use old tea boxes with the lids cut off to store other oils.Gothica Gothiquehttp://emporiumgothica.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-31786064578242296612012-04-05T03:41:47.037-06:002012-04-05T03:41:47.037-06:00Good idea... and a bit like year-round Christmas. ...Good idea... and a bit like year-round Christmas. :)J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-55478291349006146262012-04-05T03:40:25.775-06:002012-04-05T03:40:25.775-06:00Thanks!

I have used ropes hung from the hanger-bar in my coat closet to store my ribbon spools, but that doesn't keep them *entirely* dust-free, and it also takes up valuable closet space. I have also used organza ribbon to store earrings, but then what to do with it? You can hang it in the closet, but then you have the same closet space issue. <br /><br />I wound up rolling the ribbons carefully in my jewelry box and then I forgot all about my rolled up earrings over time. I could easily see a row of mesh tray dividers on the wall at the back of my closet. Thanks for the great suggestion. <br /><br />Also, is that picture from Convergence 12 in New Orleans circa 2006?heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861784298409987527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-69009126034008636032012-04-04T19:13:47.993-06:002012-04-04T19:13:47.993-06:00What a creative idea for earrings! :)What a creative idea for earrings! :)J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-32764724853466240962012-04-04T03:57:01.970-06:002012-04-04T03:57:01.970-06:00I hang my earrings on a purple jumper, that my Mum...I hang my earrings on a purple jumper, that my Mum knitted, for my sister when she was a baby. :)<br /><br />I also have a "small table bin" wich was a cocoa powder can, before I've painted it black.<br /><br />I like the ice tray idea, too!Mary Poppinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358928165518697862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-55086389357406611272012-04-03T19:49:50.824-06:002012-04-03T19:49:50.824-06:00Some of those holiday makeup sets have fantastic p...Some of those holiday makeup sets have fantastic packaging... in fact, sometimes the packaging is better than the makeup. :)J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-57692798332508911692012-04-03T19:47:27.243-06:002012-04-03T19:47:27.243-06:00I love old or antique-style trunks.
