Artful Homekeeping


I have had these jars for about ten years. As you can see I use them in my laundry/bathroom area to store supplies. I decided I wanted to put tags on them. I happened to be at a craft outlet store and came across these metal painted tags. They were marked down to .25 cents each. I thought the price was right, so I purchased eight of them and tied them on with hemp string that I had in my craft storage (more on this later).

And if anyone is curious about the tennis balls?...
I use them when I dry our down pillows and comforters after washing them. I just toss them into the dryer and they bounce around nicely and help "fluff" up the feathers as they are being dried.

These smaller baskets I use to keep different items in. For example, socks that are waiting to find their match, spray and wash, shoe cleaner and other sprays, a dusting brush, do it yourself dry cleaning supplies, etc.


From right to left (I'm going backwards) Round crystal deodorant balls from Good Earth Health Store, Dove soap bars, Laundry detergent (I use many different varieties), Q-Tips, Bounce dryer sheets, Tennis Balls, Magnetic Dusting Cloths, and on the far left of the picture above, I have one empty glass jar.
Any suggestions on what to store in it?

And finally the larger baskets I use for clean folded laundry, waiting to be put away. The wooden tags on these are quite old and falling apart, Morgy Mans isn't even there anymore its a mystery where it disappeared to. I'm thinking of changing these out for larger metal tags. Hmmm. Tony wants me to fix up the old ones (I'll have to see):)

Have a happy homekeeping day:)
