Ink Pad Storage!

I am so excited...this past weekend was out town wide garage sale.  There were something like 35-40 garage sales and the local paper printed up a map with each sale listed.  It was great! Mom and I had so much fun.  Since most of the sales started on Thursday, Saturday at most of them was either 1/2 price or fill a grocery bag for $1.00!!! 

I found LOTS of bargains but my most favorite buy was this.... a new ink pad storage unit!

Can you tell what it was?

See the faint "Zig" in the upper left hand corner?  It was actually one of the EK Success Zig store display cases!!  I got it for $ 0.50. 

I had to do a bit of demolition on it ~ there were extra shelves that I took out and I cut away plastic tabs where the color names used to be.  It now houses all of my Adirondack Dye Inks, my Archival Inks and a few misc. pads I have recently used.  Each compartment holds 7 pads but I only put 6 in each so I would have room to push the pads around to get middle/bottom pads out. I am so pleased with it...they are so much more accessible than they were before.

So if you have a chance to buy one of those pen store displays ~

do it...ink pads fit perfectly!
