I love June! It's the cooler of the summer months here, and that usually means lots of time at the lake. It also means my birthday. I'll be 37 in a little over a week. Wow, 37! Wasn't I just turning 17 a couple of years ago? Anyway, I love birthdays, and we usually go all out here. When the girls were younger we always threw the best parties! I just love to celebrate! So stay tuned, I'm thinking of doing something fun here...I'll let you know.
Ok, so back to the containers. I just loved this sweet little vase and thought my pearly pins look gorgeous in it.
I love old boxes of all kinds, they are great for holding all sorts of items. Even the little ones are great for holding paper clips, or little embellishments. I love the detail that went into packaging. The box with the roses on it, it's a chocolate box. The other 2 are powder boxes.
For me, it helps to have pretty containers and organization. It inspires me. Makes me want to keep things organized. (makes me want to, doesn't make it happen!)
Here's a couple of shots of my containers in action. I'm working hard on my studio and I'm almost ready to show you the whole thing.
More satin boxes and basket purses. If I see these for a good price and in good shape, I almost always pick them up. They are great for holding so many things!
I think I shown you my jewelry boxes when we did "bling week", but really these old jewelry boxes are great for holding lots of small embellishments! I have one with small paper in it. They would also be great for all the small embellishments that you need for scrapbooking, jewelry making, etc!
This one is my favorite. My Momma bought it for me at Christmas, and it's huge! There are three drawers in addition to the top two trays!
I also use all sorts of vintage tins and jars too, but I'll save those for another time!
Check back with me tomorrow for some important shop announcements. I'm back to organizing my studio.
Much love, Cerri xoxo
Those basket purses really are to die for and I love the pitcher with the pretty roses! I didn't see your bling post so it was fun to see that!
I'm enjoying my first Show and Tell Sunday! Looking forward to learning the next topic!

Hi Cerri! Love all your containers. Especially the pink jewelry box. My birthday is next Friday the 13th! What day is yours? I've not had good birthdays on Fri the 13th. One year I had my appendix out on my birthday when I was first married and my in-laws were visiting for the first time! Hope yours isn't on Friday. Take care. Di
