Temporary Storage

2011-06-06T10:44:00.001-04:00

I've been doing a form of this for years now, and i can't tell you how much it helps. Keeping a donation box is handy to get your rejects out of your daily space; I generally have a pile on the go of things people have left behind or i've borrowed; a gift box is super handy to keep some all-types extra gifts for impromptu dinner party or forgotten birthdays; and sure if you're an avid library user a dedicated box make sense. (my judge-y self would probably stay clear of this 'functional' set up, and go for something a little more 'wicker & wood')
