Instead of using plastic desk top organizers and paper clip holders, etc., try prettying the place up by using old glass jars and trinket boxes.

Garage sales offer plenty of vintage pieces that aren’t worth much and sell for a quarter or two, but they’re pretty!

Ideas:

• Cute little porcelain trinket boxes for storing paper clips, push pins and rubber bands
• Sweet decorative jam jars for glue stick and pen storage
• Covered crystal boxes and candy dishes for storing loose change or small coin collections
• Tall colored drinking glasses for holding pens and pencils
• Small crystal or pretty glass candle holders for paper clip storage

Sometimes you can find charming decorative wood boxes that are perfect for storing CDs and business cards.

Vintage Recipe Boxes

If you come across these little treasures, don’t let them pass you by! They’re perfect for storing index cards, stickers, labels, staple boxes, coin wrappers and rolls of tape.
