A couple of you asked where I got my blue market basket (shown in this post.) So here is the answer. 🙂
I found mine at T.J. Maxx (yes, on discount, lucky me) a couple of years ago. Around that time they also had these same totes at Linens ‘N Things.
The Container Store has it in black and also in floral. And, as someone else mentioned in the comments, I have seen something similar at Target recently, too…but it has been a few weeks. (So please call ahead if it’s a long journey to Target for you. The ones I saw were in the closet / college area of Target.)
Hope this helps!
I am in the Cincinnati area…they have them right now at several of our Homegoods and TJ Maxx stores…
saw some at Target today in Lexington KY-in the college dorm organizing section
TJ Maxx/Homegoods still has them around here (Nthn Cali) as does Marshalls… and if you want to pay LOTS of money so does Williams Sonoma *lol*
You can also find beautiful market baskets online at http://www.reisenthel-shop.de. They are more expansive, but they are GREAT!
I picked up my baskets in the dorm section of my Target (central NJ) this week for an upcoming road trip. They had small and medium sizes. I can’t wait to use them!
Thanks for all your ideas Aby. I have learned a lot. I need help with this area though: all the receipts and paper that come from shopping trips. What do you do with them? Thanks so much for your help.
I was at Target last night and they had a few of them in the clearance summer/gardening area… Blue/Red/White/Black were the only colors – but I picked them up for $5.00 each.
I so wish I could get my mitts on one of those too … I’ve seen you use it a lot (from your posts)!!
Oh but I did see some metal buckets in Ikea yesterday … I was out of time, but will definately be going back for more … so many uses are ticking around my head!!
i buy these up regularly… and stash them… TJ Maxx and Marshalls both always have them in stock lately – in the home wares dept – usually with the cooking stuff for 9.99!!! The retail eslewhere for sometimes $30!!! Such a BARGAIN! LOVE these totes! I think I have 5 for me and have given some others away!
I got mine at Marshall’s for $10, and have seen them at JC Penney on clearance. Joann’s had some last year, so maybe they’ll get them this year. I love mine!
I got one of those today at Target, gotta love that store!!
Abey I wanted to say that I LOVE that pic in the far left of your header, and wondered if you could share a full shot it and the space that it is, what those file folders accomplish etc., –I am very intrigued and would love to learn about that spot! 🙂
Thanks bunches!!

I too, looooove magazines. Once, I even gave them up for Lent. No new magazines argh! that was a challenge. Some of my favs I never recycle, (keep them stored in binders) others, I do like you, and tear out ideas. (My Mom did the same thing, and I inherited her ‘Idea File’, lovely leather bound accordian file, full of 1950s & 60s ideas.) I try to recycle my old magazines to the gym (health/workout type) hair salon, dr office, oil change place, wherever I’m going to be sitting and waiting. I take an issue I know I don’t want to keep, and then leave it for the next person.
I found all of mine (yes all haha) 🙂 at TJ’s but the originals are available at garnet hill – if you search for “market tote” you’ll find them there as well!
