Umm...we have storage, Houston.....

Never turn me loose in a storage shop. Never, never, never. Not even with a goal.

It wasn't that expensive.... Considering what I got, anyway. Hoo boy.

I have a rolling card with three shelves. The shelves are metal and let me see what's on them pretty well. I have a bunch of plastic containers ranging from large (I'm going to put tubes of seed beads in here) to tiny (1-inch spaces). They stack very nicely on the shelves of the cart. I have a tray (originally a "dinner tray" in cheap faux-wood with a white plastic bottom. Inch and a half lip; where the handles are, the opening is 3/4 inch up from the bottom.

This is GREAT for beads. It also fits PERFECTLY on the top shelf of the cart..... And the lovely thing is, if I get bored with beading, I take the plastic containers away, stack them in my crafts room, and stack whatever I AM obsessed with on the cart. Want to work on current project? Haul down the tray - I'll have left it there - and work on it in my chair. Done with it? Deposit back on cart, no problem.

I think I'm in love. Slightly poorer, but in love....

Now, wish for me that this works as well as I think it will, but it LOOKS good. I should be able to see everything by moving no more than one container, mostly by moving none, snag what I want, and deposit it in the tray. This should work really well.

Here's hoping it does.
