Talenti containers pressed into action! You may notice there are still a few empties. I'm busy filling them up. I was not responsible for eating all of this myself….many folks have been kind enough to gift me their empties. It's a rather impressive wall, current count 92 containers, 19 columns by 5 high, with 3 missing to make it 5 high in all 19 columns. Then I'm out of room on that cabinet. I must say it makes a nice visual inventory of what is in stock.
Oh and that subtle little necklace on the left, I have 2 more months of custody before I return it to Sherry for her turn. It is called Oz and is really the most beautiful piece. Even for me it's not a grocery store piece though, so I wear it as often as I can get away with, whenever the occasion merits bead dress up! I think I'll take it to Tucson with me, perhaps there will be a party or two where it might make sense.
Don't forget that a comment on any or all blog posts between January 23rd and January 30 (12:00 noon PST) will enter you into the drawing to win a copy of Marcia DeCoster Presents. (your name will be entered for each post you comment on, but only once per post)

Love the wall,bet your studio is fabulous!
Love this storage set up - being able to see what you have is instant inspiration.
Always love seeing other bead storage solutions - Thanks! Can't wait to see the new book - hope I win it, but I'll still buy it if I don't - but I hope I WIN it! LOL!
More Talenti jars are in the mail. Should have them soon. I love this photo! You'll need a shelf to start the next group!
The OZ necklace is beautiful! I love the different storage ideas you have. And your crystal wall is wonderful. I love those Bisley cabinets, wished I had some. I keep saving prescription bottles thinking they might come in handy. Boy I have a lot, too bad they aren't clear!
92? Wow! You'll have another the next time I see you :)
Another lovely book! Thank you Marcia for the giveaway!
Great ice cream and pleasing bead containers. What more is there?

Mmmmm Talenti! I love how it adds just a spot of all the different colors to your shelf.
Love the "tapestry" wall you have going there! And, the necklace is so beautiful. Love all your books, so thanks for the chance to win this one.
Hmmm...so does this mean I get another chance if I comment again today? Just in case...here I am! Would love that book to add to my collection. PS What is Talenti? I'll have to Google...nice containers!
Do you mark color numbers, names, etc. on top of or inside the lids or do you have some kind of list with all that info? Love this, I'm always looking for new organizational ideas.
In February in Tucson, one doesn't need a special occasion to wear that necklace!! Hope to see you here!

I never thought I'd meet someone with more Talenti containers than me!
I haven't seen that book - would love to have it.
How big are those containers? That amount of beads is a wonderful sight. I googled Talenti. Must look for some.
I just love the look of the Talenti containers! And the necklace? Beyond spectacular!!
I'd love to win this book--have your other books so I need this one to complete my 'collection'. Can't wait for the classes with you in April.
I have smaller bottles for all my stash, love the look of your storage jars. Perfect way to display and see what you want to put into your next great project. Your new book looks like one for my collection. Thanks for sharing the love!!!
Congratulations--the new book looks lovely.
Love this ice cream! Great idea too. Gonna just have to start my own collection....and I have the perfect place to "display" them. Just love your ideas!
The book looks fabulous. Looking forward to owning a copy soon!

What a wonderful reason to eat more Talenti Sea Salt Caramel Gelato, which is also mine (and my cats) absolute favorite!
Es un espectaculo para la vista.
I wish I had the space to display my beads like that! Now they are tucked away in a big box, and therefore I sometimes forget what I have... I'll have to find something for that. Anyway, I love how you organised your beads with the containers!
AH talenti storage... love it!
Wow, I collect Talenti containers myself (it's the BEST ice cream) and they are a good size. To collect those little seed beads in them...that's TON of beads! I haven't found a use for mine yet. But I do know that acetone will remove the lettering if you want to have completely clear tubs. :)
Wall o' beads - nice! Of course I understand the hardship of having to chew your way through a ton of delicious ice cream to attain such a prize but hey, no pain no gain :)
Your "subtle" necklace is quite extraordinary. I would love to see it in real life I bet it's super sparkly!
Love the picture of the Talenti containers of beads next to the beautiful necklace!
Perfect wall decoration! And so many pounds of beads! Do you have another wall for the smaller provisions?
Talenti is now being carried in my local supermarket, so I have two containers saved in my bead corner. The ice cream is delish, the containers are great for holding stash! Jeanne Evans
My copy arrived yesterday. What a Fabulous book and so nice to see some Canadians in it. I would really like to win an autographed copy! Louise
I love you wall of color, Marcia! Especially on those shelves.
so you swear you didn't eat the Talenti???? Haha I love reading your blog and I like the visual of all the beads stored this way
I have been using Talenti containers to store bead projects since I discovered Talenti when I moved to Florida. My local Publix has a buy one, get one free promotion every couple of months - favorites are sea salt caramel and pistachio. I like the size of their containers. They look amazing in your photo with the light behind them.
had to google talenti pots and its a great use for two loves. Icecream and beads. Great reuse of containers.

Your book looks fabulous. I love your bead glass jars.
Wonderful colors!!
You are such an inspiration! First beading, then leading me into knitting......now will your wonderful organization skills rub off? We shall see..........
I just love the bead storage idea. It looks so colorful.
Another beautiful book Marcia!
Not familiar with Talenti. Like the idea.

Love the containers and the colors!
I am struggling with my seed bead storage so this is a great idea. I am thinking of magnetic strips but time will tell. Thanx for the chance to win your wonderful book.
Just looking at storage like that is inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
So pretty - I wish I could store my enamels that way, but the poor pretty containers couldn't withstand the heat!
Love those containers-
Wow, what a beautiful necklace! It's very inspiring. So is your wall of crystals. I personally love walls with lots of the same things (crystals, books etc.) because they're so pretty to look at =)
I also appreciate the chance of winning your book!
