A funny little fact not many know about me is that I'm obsessed with the dollar store. Or, Dolla Store as my Great Aunt Frances used to say...it's a Southern thing. Not any dollar store, there is only one chain that I frequent which will remain un-named but, it's the cleanest and best organized. It also has the coolest finds AND everything really is one dollar. I have no respect for a store calling itself the "dollar store" then charging $2, $4 and $5 for most of the items. That's a "dollars store." Plural. No different from any other store on any other corner. Disgraceful.
Anyhow, I digress. The "crack sample" that got me hooked on this particular dollar store was my discovery of the glassware and serving pieces. If you need inexpensive water or wine glasses or champagne flutes, head to the dollar store. 50 for 50 bucks. Can't beat it and no one will know the difference.
They also have great faux silver serving trays in all sizes...perfect to take to parties because they look nice and you can leave it behind! I keep a stack of them in my china cabinet. Once, at a baby shower, we used the smaller silver trays to serve individual salad sample plates to all of our guests. The presentation was gorgeous. I'll post pics of that shower here someday, but today...I have to get back on track. I told you the dollar store gets these Scottish veins a pumpin'!
The entire reason I'm posting today is to share with you my latest find. Check out these great 3-in-1 Cotton Sets. It's always a difficult task to find a handy place on/in the changing table to conveniently store cotton balls, q-tips and cotton pads. Solution: these handy snap containers!! Even if you can't find them in a store near you, you can probably find a segregated plastic organizer with a lid...then, you can fill it with whatever you need. I just like the fact that you can grab one container for several needs in a pinch.
Let me know your solutions for the changing table! I'd love to hear them!
STAY TUNED!! Project Peekaboo is coming soon!
