Oh and ribbons too. What do you do with them all? How do you store them? Why do you store them? Do you use them?
In boxes, baskets, jars or bags?
Neatly or all in a jumble?
I'm sure they'll all 'come in handy' sometime.
Welcome new follower to my cluttered world!
You've got so many treasures there. I keep all my bits and bobs in tins.
ReplyDeleteLots of eye candy!! My buttons are in little jars. Trims, ric racs, fasteners and zippers are in tins, and the ribbons are a bit all over the place right now. lol

I'm afraid that all my ribbon is in a tin - all mixed up. Should get it organised ... perhaps one day!

I buy the very expensive Bonne Marche Jam so I can store all my bits and bobs in the finished jars! Never know when they will be needed!
ReplyDeleteI store all my buttons in jars,my ribbons in a jar and a lovely wooden box a friend gave me for my birthday,my laces is shoe boxes and when I was not so well one evening took them all into the lounge room and untangled the ribbons and placed them in their colours in the box and jar..lol..lasted for a short time.but i find in the big jars you can see what you have,my old ribbon tin was deep and I used to have to empty it out every time.Never can we have too many!
ReplyDeleteMy ribbons are kept in a see through zip up bag that a christmas smellies gift came in. Buttons and bits and pieces in jars. I like having them on display though, no point collecting them unless you can look at them.
ReplyDeleteOh in colour co-ordinated Bon Maman jam jars of course!

All my buttons and jewellery findings are stored in fishing tackle plastic containers similar to one of your photo. Ribbons stay on reels and are stored in bigger containers with small amounts of ribbon wrapped around dolly pegs and put into jars. I have too much stuff!! :) You gotta have it though.

Do you remember the plastic boxes Ferrero Rocher chocolates came in? Well I use them to store my embroidery threads and ribbons in.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid mine are in a perpetually changing state -- I organize them only to pull through them (because I just have to touch) and then they need organizing again.
ReplyDeleteYour's looks so neat, my workroom is a messy heap with stuff all over the place, I really should get rid of some of it, I know I shall never use it all but I have this parrot on my shoulder telling me to keep it all. lol
