I have a thing for candles, as I'm sure many of you do. I have a tart warmer that always has a candle in it when I'm home - it's located in a central location in the living room, so the smell goes all throughout the first floor:
All my candles and 'candle stuff' are in a basket under that table. Today I got a new shipment of Yankee Votives, so on a whim I decided to clean out the basket. Ummmmm, there were magazines and catalogs in there from 2004. Need I say more???
I didn't take a before picture (I always think of these things too late..), but here is a picture of what all was in that basket:
The 9x13 pan is left-over from my cabinet clean-out yesterday, the plants were brought in to avoid the freeze, and the bowl by them contains chocolate muffins :). The other stuff was all in there. After washing out the basket, I re-filled it with just actual candles that had been organized:
It's not much, but it's one more little place in my house that is organized. I cleaned it on a whim, but it does make me feel just a little better. That's not a bad thing!
And now here is my bar after I got everything put its place:
That's a big ole beautiful blue ball jar full of zinnias from the yard. It's supposed to be in the low to mid-30's the next three nights, so that will probably be the end of my flowers. I've covered the mums, but I picked all the zinnias that were still in good shape and brought them in so I could keep just a little more summer around :)
I'm attempting to link up to
