I don’t know about you but I can never seem to have enough baskets to stash my magazines. I usually keep them for two years, and then go back through them one last time before I pass them on to a friend who enjoys them as I much as I do. If an issue features a house in my neighborhood I don’t part with it. Found this white basket with handles at an occasional sale and thought it would hold two stacks and fit under my TV stand…and it does.
Blogged for Homebody’s Thrift Store Thursday.

I have baskets all over the house. I know it's a problem,I just can't part with them.
I know I'm packrat when it comes to my magazines! I desperately need to sort through some! I just can't yet. Traci
I keep too many magazines too long! Your basket worked out perfectly.
Sara's watercolors are so pretty and fresh...I like Light at the Door.
love your basket. I've started a few pretty folders to put in a binder of my fav pages and pass it along immediately or throw it out. I have a foodie category, projects category, inspirational decor..
I have a box of magazines that I haven't unpacked in a year. The debate is... do I just give them away now or do I take them out. I just KNOW if I open that box I am going to spend all day reading magazines and THEN I won't be able to get rid of them.
Yours look really nice stashed in the basket!
Magazines are my opium. I am addicted, and have back issues of decorating magazines dating back to 1978.
Yikes. I also have baskets; love your big flat one. Nice.
I like the beach cottage with blue bay print -- I think that's what it is called. Lovely giveaway! Fingers crossed,
Cass
I love the bench outside the orange cottage print. Love the colors!
I hear you on having too many mags.
I'm a new follower! I wish I could find a basket like yours to store my magazines in. I have 'em piled up in the corner!
I love the boat picture...the colors are so vibrant. thanks for the giveaway. I would love to win a painting. :)
My favorite is the light at the door...so pretty and I love the colors.
My favorite is Underwater Octopus!
