Thrifted shelf with vintage thread and buttons

I feel better when my supplies look all pretty. I'm currently working to eliminate as much plastic from my studio storage solutions as possible.

    I'm inspired now -- I have an old type tray, too -- will have to try the same w/my little bead jars & thread. :) your pics always give me the feeling that a window of sunshine is off to one side, so happy.

    where did you get this curios box? i love it and want something just like it for my room. And great idea for a playful fresh way to display thread.

    fashionqtpie - thanks! i got this at a thrift store, but i think it originally came from someplace like hallmark - it appears to be a tad on the old, but not antique side, based on an old type tray. i can't wait to dig it out and find it a home in my new room!
