Oooh....I like all of your vintage stuff ideas. The wooden pop bottle case is a good one. You could put small, mason jars in it and keep all sort of colorful things in them. I also use vintage candy tins to keep my current quilt projects in. All the cut pieces go inside and when it' closed, it just looks lovely and decorative sitting there.
