Printer's Tray

When I was cleaning my basement , I found my old printer's tray . and then a few nights ago I found a great blog called Boxwood cottage .
On her blog is a printer's tray that she [Carol ] fixed up !
so > she inspired me to do mine
I took out some of the slats , too many tiny openings for me .

Make sure you check out the other photos below so you can see it finished with all kinds of things in the tray , I had to post it all in separate posts or else I would get all confused .
below you can see more photos !
it was fun to go shopping in my own house.

What a great place to hold all your treasures Sandy. I loved looking at all the things you have collected and made. Went to the Boxwood blog and I can see why you were so attracted ... you two are kindred spirits.
Keep creating ... fun to see what you will come up with next.

Gawd Darn It! I just passed up one of those trays at Goodwill.
Guess I'll run back out there and see if it's still there. What a great idea! That would be SO cool for my kitchen which is WHITE (big surprise there) and black and brown and gold and silver. I could put little spices and little salt and peppers shakers among my collection of weird!
I liked Boxwood's little shop. Someday I want a little shop. I have a basement full of "fixtures" that I've been collecting. I also have a spot picked out. It's about 10 blocks from my house, I could actually ride my bike there! Ha!
It's a hair salon place now, I went in one day and asked if they took walk-ins and they cut my hair on the spot. I really just wanted to scope out the joint and maybe they sensed it cuz my hair looked like H. E. DOUBLE L!

Thank you Meg
I love Boxwood cottage blog > her place is so pretty

and Cindi > I ALMOST got rid of that Printer's Tray when I was on a cleaning binge in the basement
I'm happy I didn't get rid of it now
Let me know when you open a little shop ... Hey it can happen !

PERFECT! What a great way to display all those tiny important memories.
Joe calls this stuff Mem-or-AB-lee-ah. I love memorabilia too. I have stuff in glass jars. But shaking to see what you have isn't too good.

I love the idea of 'shopping in your own house'~maybe that will make it easier for me to go through my own (piles and piles) of junk, if I think of it that way!

Your tray turned out great, and the Boxwood blog is indeed inspiring. I wish I was so well-organized.

All so great! Mr. Polkadot kitty is my favorite. Well... his frame is the polkadotted one, but still. You know what I mean!
