do you ever see old drawers when you are junking/antiquing? i always do. and i've been know to buy a few old filing cabinet drawers here and there, not sure what to do with them...but they speak to me. :)
i accidentally discovered the other day that the small drawers are absolutely perfect for holding mister huey's.
i have a small collection of mists on an old stamp holder (you can see it here) but as my collection grew, they were just thrown in a basket. and i didn't like it at all...i couldn't see them.
i love this solution. the drawer holds four across...and they fit perfectly.
so there you have it! a simple, vintage storage solution.
pssst- i need to find another drawer to fill with mister huey's calico shine alone. i am obsessed. :)
happy sunday!

Very cool!! :)

I love it when an impulse purchase is justified.
I'm hoping to get my hands on some Mister Hueys soon so I guess I need to start thinking about storage, eh?

Love the vintage drawer! How you do find such awesome goodies? I'd love to get one for my Hueys!

You must have to purchase the misters on line. I've been looking to try one and can't find one locally. :(

You have a wonderful collection of them!! That drawer works perfectly!! I only have one Mr. Huey Mister - white - that I got in my scrappy kit a few months back. I really like it! I need to order more! ;)

I just got my first two mists and used one with the ampersand mask yesterday...LOVED it! And I love that the little card holders on the front of your drawer make it look like a smiley face! :)

love this idea!! i use old wooden cheese boxes for mine. the mist fit in them perfectly too. but your draws hold a lot more. i'll have to be on the lookout for these. love, love, love them!

I am a total dork...but I love how it looks like the drawer has a smiley face. ;) I just got an old library card drawer from Justin's mom...can't wait to find something fun to put in it!

cute drawer :) ... although you are making me want to peek more around your desk! Is it funny when I am tilting my head to see more of the picture... you know, just incase it is 3D and I can see around that edge!

I love old drawers, too!! I have a couple old sewing machine drawers that I haven't known what to do with. Now I do :)

Love the look of the drawer - my problem was not knowing what color I was grabbing. Enter the 1/2" circle punch and Epiphany caps. Spray, punch, cap and now I know what color I have. (Plus, it looks pretty!)

Sorry for the double post! It's Monday! I think Glue used the MS butterfly punch for even more prettiness!

Your drawer is smiling!

Your drawer has the intense look and a strong sense of purpose of keeping them mister Hueys in their place!
