FLEA MARKET FINDS:: VINTAGE BREAD TIN

I love finding vintage pieces that I can repurpose to fit my lifestyle. I found this gorgeous mini bread tin at the Alameda Flea Market this past week for $14 dollars, and it was love at first sight. All I could think about was the many different uses I could get out of it, so I came up with a few fun ones to share with you. Don't be bogged down by what an items actual purpose was, think outside the box and use it for something new. The options are nearly endless, you just have to get creative. :)

The gorgeous tin, in all of it's glory!

The perfect place to hold your tea selection.

Or to hold your jewelry...

Or, what about your makeup and nail polish?

It's also the perfect place to hold some of my shop supplies!

What would you do with a vintage bread tin like this? I'd love to hear!!

LET'S GET ORGANIZED

This week I've been organizing my Girl Cave like crazy. I hate having bits and baubles and papers and jewelry and glue and (the list goes on and on) everywhere! I want to have a chic, clean and organized space where I can craft in peace and blog in comfort.
I'm the type of person that needs everything to be in it's place to feel completely at ease. Don't get me wrong, today I "may" have walked out of the house without making my bed. I also "may" have left my PJ's on the bathroom floor. OK, so I'm flawed too! *shocking I know*  However, when I'm not being lazy, I'm trying to be organized. Check out these great tips I found while doing research for my space. Do you like to be organized? Does it come easy for you, or is it a challenge?

This dreamy vanity made me smile. Don't you love it? Geez, I want those necklaces. :)

I'm going to be honest, I'm not quite sure who could maintain this, but isn't it beautiful?

I love the library card drawer look. And of course, all the pink too. ;)

Such a fun way to keep each part of your day organized. I think I'm going to do this.

My favorite part (other than the ultra glam look and soft colors) is the white peg board. I've been wondering if putting a peg board in my "girl cave" would take away the feminine look. After seeing this, I know it can be done. Yay!

Apothecary jars, a great palette, the Expedit book case from Ikea...and you have a wonderfully organized space. It just works.

Don't be afraid of a color in your work space. Color is inspiring. Just make sure it all goes well together just like the space above. I love the giant picture frame cork board!

Don't you love the green organizer in the back? I also really like the frames they used to display their ideas. Fun.

All of  these ideas are great, and I think I'm going to put a few of them to use. However, whatever I do with my space I want to make sure it's all me. Do you have any great office organization tips? I'd love to hear what you've done in your home.
