Don't Pass Up Store Close-Out Sales...

There was a store closing in our town that sold party supplies and hardware. My husband and I stopped by just to take a quick look at what they had left. When stores are closing down, they need to sell everything even the fixtures…racks, stands and the furniture they use for displays etc.

Even if you don't need anything that the store is selling (like the party supplies), you may find something that you can use for organizing or storage from the fixture section.

Here is a rack that held signs at the store. It was only $10, so I couldn't pass it up.

I store all my magazines and books in it now.

Each section holds several magazines and still easy to see what in there.

Here was the old way I stored them under one of my tables.

It worked great too. I used two old drawers from our kitchen remodel, painted them and put casters on them. They hold so much and still out of the way under the desk. You can easily slide them out to get something, because they are on casters.

Remember…don't pass up a close out sale!!

Thanks for stopping by,

  2. I had to laugh, we have our quilt books marked alike for future projects. I don't think I'll be here long enough to finish, or even start, all of mine. Love the rack, all your suggestions are great.

  7. When Archivers went under (woe to all paper crafters!), I forced myself to go into the store and came across a scrapbook paper wire rack that was for sale. I knew I could give it a good home- so five minutes and a slightly lighter wallet later, I had a perfect addition to my craft room!
