just right

I've been on a hunt lately for just the right container to hold jars 

for kitchen organization and storage.

I've seen wonderful ideas in blogland for using jars and 

jar carriers for a variety of uses and I wanted one.

The Virginia House

I've found some on Etsy and other places but none so far

have been just right for me.

They have all been either too expensive, too simple,

lacking character, too small or just not me. 

Then, I found this:

This old wooden and metal tote was it!

Four jars fit in it perfectly.

Love all the rustic detail.  There are little holders I guess for

screwdrivers or whatever that would hold pens if I decide 

to use it for something else.

I put my jars in and sat it on my little "tableisland".

I added the forks, knives and spoons.

On the other side, there is room for paper plates and plasticware.

It holds it all perfectly, makes everything convenient and easy to get to

and frees up a whole drawer in the kitchen to use for something else.

My little kitchen tableisland is a one stop shop for whatever we need.

I love this little unique tool tote. I could use it for so many things.

I'm still on the lookout for just the right milk bottle carrier.

I still want one but for now, this tote is just right.

I've been noticing a change in my style over the last few months.

Have you noticed it too?  

I think it's evolving into something unexpected for me.

I'm working on a post to explain it all.  

It may mean some little changes are in store for this little blog.

Stay tuned.
