I admit it, I have a thing for labels. And while I don’t want you to get caught up on the little details when organizing, sometimes you may want to go above and beyond and really make a statement. Shaina offered some great tips on stocking your pantry and while my pantry is well stocked and functional, I envision it a little more like the picture above. Everything in beautiful jars with even more beautiful labels attached.
Perhaps one day I will make that extra effort but like I said our kitchen works as is. I am not setting myself up for perfection. With young kids in the house this might not be the most practical idea for our family right now. However, when the kids are a little older and I have some extra time on my hands, you just might find me etching labels on glass jars for the pantry! :)

I love this.
While it’s maybe not the kind of thing I’m likely to do, it IS the kind of thing I like that I could do, should I want to do it. It’s comforting that way.
Does that make sense?
You know, THIS would be paramount for me! I love this idea. It would keep me from ruining tea like I did before when I put SALT in to sweeten it instead of SUGAR becuase I was handed the wrong container and didn’t pay any attention b/c I was running my chops! LOL…. That made for some NASTY tea, let me tell you!
