Hi--This is a great forum! I've been reading posts for a couple of weeks, and have learned lots of good things. I just registered now so I could add my ideas to this post.
I use a tie holder with 11 little wood pegs to hang my scissors on.
I found an old cassette tape holder at Goodwill, spray painted it white, and use it to hold thin spools of ribbon.
My cutting table is a 30x50 desk that really didn't function well as a desk (basically just 4 legs with a top and a small drawer), but it works great for cutting fabric.
