Morning's Light

I have a basket like this to hold library books.
Seems great minds think alike.

I can never have too much. (well..actually I can. I have a tiny office half-full of empty containers.)

I am addicted to storage, and even told someone once, "Containers are my friends."  

Since I have a pile of items that need a home + a pile of empty storage containers, I'm on the lookout for ways to store my stuff.  Naturally I should give away most of the items, but some will stay and however will I store them?  Let's take a look.

beeyoootiful shelves with items arranged so very neatly. hmm..perhaps this photo should be submitted to the blog "Items Organized Neatly" (that is the name, right?)

I have tried piggy banks but a jar works best for me. I use an oversized coin purse/evening bag as a wallet and dislike the build up of coins in it because the bag becomes heavy.  Thus I take joy in dumping out the coins into a jar and watching the pile grow bigger!   

Am not a tea drinker.  Well, I've only ever tried barley tea from when my family lived in South Korea. But I love the simplicity of this storage and the great label on the lid.  Plus I have a crush on Trader Joe's products – probably because I live 45 minutes from the closest store. 

Just loving the pretty wallpaper behind the shoe cabinets. 

A pretty, organized entryway to a studio apartment.
