Jackpot!




WOYWW? (What's on your workdesk Wednesday?)

My desk is a disaster this week.  My previous post shows the project that is responsible for this mess, but well worth it. 



I found a new organizer for my Copics.  It will work great just so long as I don't buy anymore Copics or I find another cheese box.



I went antiquing on Sunday and I was looking for wood thread spools all day without much luck.  At the last shop I noticed a large oatmeal canister with wood spools written on it.  It was FULL of wooden spools, jackpot!  I only had to pay $5.  So happy to find them.  I have used several already for baker's twine and the rest are in these glass containers for the time being.


Do you like to snoop at others' workdesks?  Well pop on over to see Julia and so many wonderful workdesks.

  3. This all looks fabulously organised!! I don't own copics as I'm a pencil type of gal but I would be careful of storing them upright I was told they are better stored laying down for longevity! Thanks for shairng hugs Rebekah xx 109

  6. Lovely space. Finding something to keep goodies in is good but you either have to curb the spending so you don't get any more or keep thinking up new storage.LOL

  8. Great bargain and I love the copics in the cheese crate, I have vintage trims in one in my craft room. I really like your project that created this "mess", I agree that it was well worth it.
