loved this storage solution idea from country living. so nice to have things away from the desk. nailing the lids of these jelly jars to a shelf is genius! then you can still have your knick-knacks close. now, i really need to tackle my desk. yikes..
instructions here.

better get a move on. z man and i get to go play with nicole at her studio today. should be fun…

i saw this cute birdy jewelry stand at urban outfitters, and i loved it, but i didn’t buy it.
luckily, i found one just like it, but in an even cuter antique white color at rod works. [picture the one above in a rustic antique white, too lazy to take a picture of mine] i’m loving the little knick knacks at rod works lately. and the best thing is their prices. my birdy jewelry stand was only $8.95 vs. urbans $18.00.

:: so i’ve been working on my clothing closet.. and this just might be the most difficult of them all. these are just two of the trash bags i filled up with things i need to get rid of. it’s difficult parting ways with some things, mainly because i think about all the hard earned money i spent on it and it just kills me to give it away to goodwill or whatever. i’ve taken some to sell at platos closet and pibs exchange, but sometimes they can be quite picky. i may sell some on ebay. it’s been successful in the past, but honestly a bit time consuming and i really am not in the mood. we’ll see. maybe i should do a cyber garage sale like cute ali suggested. ::
