Now You See It: Then You Don't

 I am just getting a start with beading.  I have no room for beading supplies in my studio, and it is kinda nice to be able to craft while downstairs in the living area of my house.  So, I needed a storage solution.  I pulled that great large cookie tin down from a bookshelf (upper left), then pressed another old tin into service with my "pearls" (middle right), prowled around for a few other boxes and jars, plus an old tole tray...and I've got a pretty good system going. 
 What really makes it work is that in a minute, I can put everything away; which you see here with my dining table restored to order and the supplies resting on top of a wine rack (upper left). 
Mostly I'm beading these bead & pearl flowers and attaching them to stick pins.  Here is one stuck into a toilet paper tussie mussie that I am having so much fun making.

OH, how I need a 'quick put away' system. My projects languish on the table for days (gasp-weeks) on the table.
