Candy in boxes and bags is messy. (No, this candy is not mine -- it belongs to DH and the kiddos.)
Candy put into jars and glasses is neat and pretty. Remember that yardsale find that held wooden cranberries up until last week? 50 cents at a yard sale. The candy canes look cool hanging out in a water glass.
We all have to have this stuff everyday.
Why not wake up to a beautiful bathroom counter instead of a messy one? My toothbrush container is a small fish bowl, while a pretty cut glass candy jar holds my Q-tips.These containers were all clearance rack, yard sale, thrift store or flea market finds. How do you keep it neat and pretty?

I have always moved my Qtips from the original packaging into a clear plastic contain with ivy etched on it that I orginally bought filled with Qtips when I was back in college (circa mid-90's), but you have inspired me to find something prettier around the house to use! Thank you!
That is so pretty! I do similar stuff for candy I have glass containers that I hand painted to make them even prettier :) I love to hand paint on glass :)
Great minds think alike! I've been using things like that to organize and 'pretty up' my bathrooms, too! ;)
I was already following you, and found you on SITS today, too! :)
!!!! I knew that fishbowl with the pretty fluted edges would be good for something...now I know what I'll use it for!......thanks for the idea!
Great post! I'm always looking for ways to get myself organized.
Ugh! I so need to do this! I hate having bags of qtips and cotton balls on my counter. Now I'm inspired! heheh

Thanks!
Great organzation tips! I especially love the toothbrushes and toothpaste in the small fishbowl! ... Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage
Glass containers are the prettiest things ever - what a pretty way to organize. :)
Happy New Year!!!
So pretty! Love this idea. :)
I recently started doing this as we're prepping our house to go on the market. I'm amazed at what a difference it makes in how I view the house.
Great job & beautiful :)
