Ink pad caddy

The other day my friend Alessandra called me to tell me she found not one . . . but 4 rotating cassette tape holders at Goodwill. She emailed me a picture and asked if I wanted her to buy them for me. At an average price of $3 a piece I could not pass up this deal. Major score!

Excited to put one of these babies to work I've temporarily set a caddy on my desk.  Until I move that Scrap Rack into the closet I'm not going to be able to set up my Inky Station.  So in the meantime the caddy is allowing me easy access to ink pads that were once stored in a shoe box in the closet. 

The slots on the caddies are not always evenly spaced which leads me to believe these may have been custom made.  On one side of the caddy I am able to store my SU, CTMH and Adirondack ink pads but not the StazOn pads which are slightly bulkier. However these same pads fit nicely in the slots on the back of the same caddy. I'm not complaining though. The largest caddy fits 48 ink pads . . . multiplied by 4 . . . that's 192 slots for ink pads . . . that's more slots than I have ink pads.  And that my friend is a good problem to have.  :-)  Thank you Alessandra for finding this treasure. 

As always, thanks for stopping by . . .
