Another Gladys Box (Part Two)

 


Remember this?  I finally got it sorted through and put away.  It was quite a job.


I found a huge bin for Family Archives, to replace the little one I could no longer fit them into.
Which led to a storage dilemma.  It was simply too big for any of my hidey-holes and I don't want to have to go down to my storage for archives.  


So I started playing bin roulette.  
The one on the floor I bought for Lego blocks, intending to slide it under my loveseat.  It was too tall.
The quilting supplies on the loveseat went to their intended recipient, but I kept the bin.
The green lid is what I was keeping the archives in, Barbie bin held my Lego blocks until it overflowed, and I don't remember were the purple-latch one came from.  
(The little one with the purple lid and checkerboard tin are for gift wrapping.)


The Lego got divided into Barbie and Purple Latch.  For now, anyway.  More on that in a bit.


The two flat bins hold the archives now.  Photos in the smaller, other stuff in the larger. They fit under the bed, where it simply did not occur to me to put Lego.  


This lady remains unidentified.  I still feel very strongly that she's close kin to those surrounding her.


The tinted tots did turn out to be the same kids as in the black-and-white.  Arthur and Marian Parker, my uncle and my mother. 



The storage where I keep holiday decorations is big enough to hold the new huge bin!  Halloween abandoned its red bin for that one.  I think I'll dump all the Lego blocks into the red one, which will fit into a hidey-hole.  Barely.
