No rummaging around in five containers if all the blue lace is in one. If everything is vintage or good, don't get rid of it. Instead, spend some time organizing it into collections with detailed labels. Then you'll be able to find what you need and finish more projects.
i really like this idea. i use see-through tubs, but still have to open them and rummage through
