Vintage Wood Dovetail Containers from 86Home

Price: $95

Era: 1950's

I love organizing. I enjoy the challenge of figuring out what to keep and what to get rid of (and where to put it) as well as knowing the zen that comes with a neat space. I think the kitchen is an overlooked area when it comes to organization. Usually, people focus on bedrooms and closets; but the amount of items in one's kitchen can easily multiply and then take over your space.

With this cute little set, you can keep basic items on hand and save the hassle of messy paper bags (seriously, people need to redesign the bags flour comes in). The price isn't too bad considering the era and condition of the canisters. Sure, you could buy a few Mason Jars and call it a day, but if you want to add some 50's kitsch to your kitchen, and keep things in order, this set would be perfect.

Vintage Find of the Week

ApronsandKitchen: The First Book of Stage Costume and Make-Up by Barbara Berk. Pictures by Jeanne Bendick

In case you missed my post last week , I decided to start featuring some great vintage finds from Etsy on the blog. I took the massive amounts of favorites I had and organized them into lists. If you would like to follow me there, please click here.

At a super affordable $13, this book would make a great gift for anyone. The seller notes a print date of 1954. The author also teaches the reader DIY projects for kids, such as costumes, that are easy and inexpensive to make.

You might want to think about grabbing this one to prepare for next Halloween.
