Storage containers from yard sales :)

I just love my new storage container finds I got on my Saturday yard sale trip. In the photo below, you can see my three slender glass containers that I got for $2.00 total (2 were for $0.75 each and one for $0.50 cents!)  I put noodles, elbow macaroni and split peas in them. The other containers are what I got from previous sales. I use them for sugar, corn meal, rice and more pasta. I have one fat empty one at the back waiting for some flour :). The very first one on the back has my packets of Martha White's blueberry muffin mixes!

Oh, and by the way, I recycled this used ice bucket (photo below) to put my spoons and spatulas in. I hate digging up a drawer trying to find a spoon or spatula.

It is so much fun to hunt for containers and other knick knacks but I have this obsession that I have to boil everything possible, so these containers had very hot,soapy baths for a few days before I decide to put my food in them.

Containers re-do

I am so glad to be able to get a little time to work some crafts in today. Remember my unique basket that I got for $1.00 at a yardsale? Here is the link to the post Cute basket. Well, I decided to decorate it by adding some gathered trim around the top edges of the basket and add some fabric scrapbooking flowers with a button center. Simple, yet cute!

Also, I did some decorating on a Folger's coffee bottle in which I used scalloped paper circles, pink grosgrain ribbon and felt ribbon roses. Then, with a Pirouline can, I used scrapbooking paper, lace trim around the top edge with a scalloped paper circle on the bottom, plus a scrapbook cutout to embellish the front of the can. And finally, I added scrapbooking paper, grosgrain ribbon for around the top edge of a kidney bean can, topped with a ribbon bow completed my projects for today.

Did you say a plate rack organizer?

Okay,so my little daughter is still sick and could not go to school for three days.Hopefully,she will be back in the morning.Right now,she is trying to do make-up work.
I finally got some time to take a few pictures.

I was in the Dollar Tree the other day and saw this plate rack and bought it to store stuff.I was wondering what can I put instead of plates and Eureka! I got my hubby's bible study books and tried them :). I even put his pencil case in it...haha.
Sorry about the blurry pics but my camera is not working right.
