Lately I've been into collecting all sorts of mismatched jars at Goodwill, flea markets, Home Goods...even from my husband's garden shed when he doesn't notice...and using them to store craft supplies in. I like that I can see what's inside at a glance.
The Pottery Barn magazine file is empty at the moment because all of my P.B. catalogues are down on the kitchen table where I have been pouring through them for some Spring decorating inspiration. But they'll move back to the craft room soon...
And then there are the old standby magazine files from IKEA...love that place for storage items. I only wish it wasn't on the other side of Boston for us...worth the trip a few times a year though. As if the magazines didn't multiply like rabbits in my craft room, there are also the books...
Mary's are here...
and so many more. I'll never run out of ideas!
I think that about says it all!

Hi, Cheryl. I just love your blog dedicated to your sister's sweet memory. Such a beautiful name. I have jars all over my craft space too. I love them. It is such a great way to display things. I've found some of my favorites at GW too. Just recycled some there!
oh, i can see, jars are all over your pages...that's interesting...
i am now following you...
I don't have a craft room but I am thinking of creating an area in my basement. I love all the jars with stuff in them...easy to see! I need to get to IKEA and get some magazine organizers also. Good tips, thanks!
I love your sweet blog! Your craft room is so organized... I love the see thru jars for storage.
You MUST also link this up with Cherry Chick's Mary Engelbreit party. (Mondays)
I seem to have a collection of jars as well, but yours look so much more organized than my hodgepodge. You inspire me to do some cleaning and strategic planning.
I look forward to seeing more.

Hello Cheryl, I am skipping over from ME Monday. I just love your blog. Your jars would be just the thing I would use if I had a craft room once again. I am a new follower.

Cheryl, I need you to come and organize me. ;-)
I don't have a craft room, but I do have a closet that needs organizing. I organize it, then it fills up again. Guess I need more space. LOL
Thanks for sharing all the fun ME things. ~ Sarah
I love ME also and miss home companion so much! I lost my sweet mother to ovarian cancer at age 63 17 yrs ago. It is a terrible illness and she suffered a lot. I know you miss your sister so much; sounds like you were very close. I was close to my brother and lost him at age 55[ 14 months older than me] 7 yrs ago. veronica from n.c.
You're right, we need to re-evaluate our craft spaces because supplies run amok, we've used all we're going to use from a certain kit, and we change what type of craft we're interested in.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
PS I snorted a loud laugh when I saw your beauty poster.
i love the idea of the mason jars. i started it in my kitchen with all my spices and food, never even thought to start that in the craft room.. thanks
