From these cool tins....  comes an organizer for your desk!

These beautiful old molds...

Recently I did a post about my Crib Spring Memo Board.


I had so many wonderful comments but I kept thinking about one comment every time I walked past the crib spring.


Heather said I should stain or paint my clothespins. 
Well Heather... you were right! Thank you for your inspirational comment.

This post is for you!


I gathered a whole bunch of naked clothespins...

and dumped them into a solution of white vinegar and a steel wool pad...

Note: it has to be an old SOS pad that rusts, not all do. 


I actually have a steel wool ball in the bottom of this jar and I just keep refilling it.
I left the clothespins in the solution for about 1 minute.

Then dumped the clothespins onto a paper towel to dry.

Stop! Do not throw out that old sweater!

I decided I needed to update a laundry basket I recently found on the side of the road.
