Things I Love

If I was to say there are two things I always want and never say no to, if offered…..

The first is shelves.  I love shelves and I always need shelves.  I actually think you can’t have too many shelves (that, and electric socket points – there are never enough).

Today, I was given two shelf units and I know they will be very useful. As quickly as the first one was put up, I filled it.  I am seeing if I need the two extra shelves, which are easy enough to add.  I think I probably will.

The second unit went into the stable where I store the remainder of my extensive rug library – some might say I have an addiction and I refute that theory but I will admit to not being very good at storing them properly.

I know that this is not an ideal method and I am determined to make it a) easier to find the necessary rug and b) store them better.

I have just ordered lots of those zip-up storage bags and will then sort, itemize, label and store each rug according to size and fill in my new easy-to-find method.  I have great plans now I have these great shelves.

Oh, and the second thing is buckets – I can never have too many buckets.  Ever.

As I write, I am feeling very smug about my shelves and will admit that when I had fed the ducks, I went back into the sheds to gaze at each unit lovingly!  Huge thanks to my giver of shelves.  You know who you are and this is a wonderful present.

    Shelves are a wonderful thing to have. Compressable zip bags are also useful. As a friend moving cross country found out when the OH limited them to 2 storage pods (for a 5 person house!). What to do with the yarn and fabric stash! Use the bags and now you have packing blankets!!!!!

    Yeah, here we are hoarders and I just keep buying more shelves. We don’t have horse and pony rugs but we do have 1000 empty jars.
    What is that big metal pot on the left of picture 3.

      That is my hot water boiler for when I wash fleeces or need a large amount of boiling water quickly. Very useful.
