A Light Bulb Moment in Target!

A friend and I went on a road trip yesterday to the nearest JoAnne's and hit Target while we were in the neighborhood.  We weren't 20 feet inside the store when I noticed a display of picnic/cook-out items including this wire thing... the likes of which I've not seen before.

 It's a picnic or cookout caddy....  says so right on the tag!

The display had red, blue, and green caddies and I resisted....   until I made my way to the outdoor section of Target and saw the white version.   I had to have one..   you see, I already have a picnic caddy on the back of my cutting table, which I've been using to store stuff related to cutting fabrics.

However, the blue caddy is much smaller and the heavy scissors fall out when I bump the table... the back section (for napkins) is really too small for the templates I've accumulated.   The blue caddy has almost slid off the cutting table when I accidentally nudged it.  I clearly need a larger/ heavier one, yes?

The front and back sections, which are for napkins and plates, did not have the wire mesh bottoms like the utensil sections but I cut some white cardboard to fit....  and now, small stuff won't fall through.

I didn't have any small plastic "glasses".... the small ones that I used with my kids when they were learning to hold and drink from a glass for the first time...  that would fit in the napkin section to use as "pencil holders" but I did find two toilet paper rolls ready to go to the recycle bin.

I covered those with one of those nice bags you get at gift shops sometimes that are printed with old-fashioned florals.

The tubes are a bit small so I will look for small plastic "glasses" to take their place since they will be heavier and less likely to move around/tip over.

It was fun loading up my new cutting table caddy... so much room!   Stuff fits!  Stuff doesn't fall out!   Wooo hooo!

There's even a bit of room for a few more templates.... which is a good thing because there are a couple under piles of fabric on the cutting table that I need to find...
