Discovery: Using What You Have

Several months ago I came across some clear plastic dessert dishes, hiding on a shelf high in a kitchen cupboard.  Although they were perfectly attractive, I knew I’d never serve dessert in them.  I began to wonder, rather than throwing these out, or giving them away, is there some other use I might make of them?

It didn’t take long to realize that they’d be perfect for holding thumbtacks, rubber bands, and other miscellany in my office.  So now I have three containers — that are small, attractive, and look great together — for otherwise unsightly stuff, sitting on my office bookshelf.

What finds do you have in your home?  Take a look around… what do you need?  What do you already have?  Could their functions possibly match?
