With a mini metal custard cup in each spot, this stand is both adorable and useful for keeping lots of different little embellishments close at hand, like stray buttons and bling.

I love these semi-clear plastic containers for sugar and flour. They’re rectangular, so they fit side-by-side nicely on a shelf and I can see exactly what’s inside. I bought these through a Publisher's Clearinghouse catalog — one time when looking at my junk mail really paid off!

These folding wire racks make it easy to take advantage of typically unused space way up high on a closet shelf. They’re tall enough to rise above most books and magazines, plus with fabric bins, you can take advantage of more vertical space up high to stash the stuff you don’t use as often.

I love all the storage space in the cabinets beneath my counters, but it’s easy to forget what’s behind closed doors. Plus I hate having to get down on the ground to dig around, trying to remember what I put way in the back. So I put these self-adhesive plastic business card sleeves from the office supply store inside each cabinet door. I can easily read the list and quickly pull it out of the sleeve to update as needed.

Categorize your papers by color or pattern type and label each drawer. Stack them into a tower on the floor or line them up along a countertop or shelf. I bought these 4-drawer portable cabinets at a quilt show; they were intended for storing 12” quilt blocks in progress, but they work great for all my scrapbook papers. I also use wall-mounted drawers (hung above the paper drawers). A shelf and drawer in one ... who doesn’t love a good two-fer? My rubber stamps fit perfectly in these shallow drawers.
