What woman doesn’t love a bit of vintage crockery right now? It’s crazy that yesterday’s car boot sale junk now produces as much saliva as a pair of Malono Blahnik’s, but hell, I’m totally on board with it all!
I use my beloved crockery to store a few of my craft bits and find that it’s a pretty way to store essentials, get my crockery fix, and makes things accessible. It really doesn’t take much to make me happy – a couple of doilies and a pin cushion is certainly enough to put a smile on my face!
Of course, as soon as I’ve got an excuse to make like a five-year-old playing tea parties, it doesn’t take me long to clear the craft junk, give my crockery a wipe and pile on the goodies! Cheese anyone? (N.B: cheese on a cake stand makes me happiest of all. I could have died happy munching on this lot!)
I do love my crockery but I am also at risk of turning my work space into a tea room and my style ethos into ‘Granny chic’. So, (and here’s the crunch of today’s post) what ideas do you have for storing all your crafty bits? Do you hide or make a feature of your supplies and what crafty storage ideas have you come up with? I’d love it if you shared your thoughts with me!

Good use of old plates and cupcake stands right there! I’m afraid I’m very disorganized and not at all creative when it comes to storing stuff – it’s all in boxes on top of my wardrobe (not great really, as I have to spend ages hunting through stuff and doing lots of heavy lifting whenever I want to get my make on). One day, when I have a craft room, things will be very different (probably…)

Ah, I dream of a craft room all the time and spend far too much time making fantasy furniture picks for it! Sadly, I can’t afford a whole other room just for my hobby 😦 … yeah, one day though…!

I have to admit that I have crockery in my craft room too :))

Ah, you have a whole room — lucky you! I just have a corner 😦 Glad to see you share the crockery love too!

lol, I have a whole room because my boys share a room…it’s good bonding for them ;-)..that’s my excuse anyway! I also used to have a corner in our bedroom, and when we moved recently my husband decided that he’d had enough of bits of thread and fabric all over the place and fabric is now banned from the bedroom lol.

I will have to be more messy to earn myself a room then. Yup, I can do that!
