„A man married a woman with only one eye. After long years of marriage, the man tells his wife he wants a divorce.
„Why?“ asks the wife.
„You only have one eye,“ is his answer.
„And it took you this long to notice?“
- joke from an Ancient Egyptian letter

Okay, so I needed to organise my pens and sewing supplies. The shelves and the bottom left jars are from last month. I found the blue-patterned jars this time - 5€ for the spice jars (they‘re labelled in Plattdüütsch!) & 12€ for the onion & garlic jars, then 2€ for the jug.
Total money spent: 20€

This pretty tub is perfect for my sketchbook and the books I‘m reading, which otherwise tend to colonise the couch armrests. This way I can still see them from the couch & remember to read! (ADHD hack)
