Today's WFMW is a themed edition: Kitchen Organization. I'm not sure I'm entirely qualified to participate, since this morning I opened one of my cabinets and something actually fell out on top of me.
I tend to go in seasons when it comes to organizing my kitchen. Let's just say I'm out-of-season right now.
BUT I do have one little thing I've found lately--spices by J.R. Watkins. I first saw them on my Wal Mart shelves a few weeks ago, and I bought some, mostly because I could not resist the cute vintage boxes (AND they were cheaper than the other brands). Look at these!
Those containers are so adorable I'm trying to think of a crafty use for them, once they're empty. (Ideas, anyone?)
(And who is this Watkins company? Anyone heard of them? I'm loving their web site--evidently all their packaging has the same look. And the photo on the front page is cracking me up. Those ladies appear to be serious about their garlic powder.)
But the best part is that rectangular spice containers like these mazimize space in a kitchen cabinet much better than their round counterparts. And this particular brand prints the name of the spice on the side, so...
...look! Organization! (Why is that photo above is so satisfying to me? Why can I not stop looking at it? Am I really that starved for order?)
