Now I know this is not to everybodies taste and most of it is junk .... but whatever the junk is, to somebody else it could be a treasure.
I was looking in paricular for a spice jar rack and we wandered around with no luck.
Then on the very last stall there it was ... shouting at me to buy it ..... so I did.
It cost me a couple of pounds and it needed a really good clean, but here it is scrubbed up and polished and already in use.
It is sitting on my worktop with all the little pieces to be used whenever I need that little embellishment to adorn my card.
Another good storage idea ... though not a car boot buy ... is to use up the empty cases that your CD's are bought in.
They have lids and a central post to keep everything together.
Then when you are finished painting just allow them to dry out again and then stack them in the holder, pop the lid, which is just visible behind, back on.
You will be able to store about four layers in the smaller holders.
They all sit neatly on the tray and the lid keeps them all safe and clean.
Then when they are getting low I can store them upside down to make sure I get every last drop of the precious glue.
This recylcing is much better than throwing things away ... you just need to look at things in a different way.
Now how many of you have said "Oh! I've just thrown one of those away ...." Tut Tut !!
