This almost gives me goose bumps, as I made these photos on April 10 after I did do some sewing and thought hey, let me share this great find with my readers... Learn from Mariette. That great find is the use of empty Ferrero gift boxes, for putting up sewing notions. It perfectly houses all kind of threads and with a rubber band around, it is perfect to sort by color. Got about five myself and it works great. You don't have to rummage through different boxes to find what you're looking for, as you clearly see the contents!
SAD to read that yesterday, on April 18, Pietro Ferrero died at age 47... May he Rest In Peace!
Ferrero Roche hazelnut chocolates are great together with a good coffee and now you know another great use for the gift box after that last one has been consumed.

A nice way to recycle and keeping our planet green!
Glad to share this with you, but sad knowing Pietro Ferrero is no more...
Hello Mariette,
ReplyDeletewhat a truly sweet idea, to use this pretty boxes for sewing materials. I really wolud love to "work" on this project to empty this boxes. :-)
Yes, it is so sad, that Mr. Ferrero died so early, especially when I think on his young family. But the pralinees Ferrero will live forever.
Greetings, Johanna
Oh wie wunderbar passen doch diese Dosen..."Das Beste"....genau richtig für eigene "Schätze"
ReplyDeleteUnd wie furchtbar...mit 47 gehen zu MÜSSEN!!!
Sein grosses Imperium hat ihn sichtlich nicht Geschützt vor Leid und einem frühen Tod!! Wir traurig !
Aber wie Du schreibst....er hinterlässt wunderbare Genüße!!!
Ich wünsche Dir noch einen wunderschönen Tag und schicke
liebe Grüße

Hi Mariette -- I am trying to reuse old boxes and tins and cans for storing things. Have some containers like this too. Your confederate azaleas are glorious! Sadly, I spoke too soon yesterday -- we are in the midst of another sandstorm, and our internet was not working again last nite. :( Thanks for all your visits to my side of the world. Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeletevery sad indeed...at the same time, he leaves a wonderful legacy
ReplyDeleteHallo Mariette,
ReplyDeleteWie sich die Dosen doch ähneln...hier und da und der Inhalt ist auch verwandt...
Dir ganz herzliche Grüße Anett
Hi Mariette,
ReplyDeleteI like the boxes to keep your sewing notions, lovely use of them.
I read where mr Ferrero died and he was so young and so sad for his family.
Happy day
Hugs
Carolyn
47 is just way, way too young to go...how sad for his family:( When you mentioned it in your comment on my blog I didn't put 2 and 2 together and associate him with the chocolates. He certainly has left a wonderful legacy.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day Mariette:)
The taste of good chocolate does indeed tickle the senses ~ 47 years old ~ that is much too young!
ReplyDeleteLove your recycling idea ~ such a cute box for storing notions!!! Excellent!

Hi Mariette, I sorry to hear that a young man is gone, on the other hand these chocolates are delicious! Here in Puertorico is a factory of these, that on several occasions to visit them to sell gifts that are given in the companies on crafts etc. I think here they do other things besides the chocolate, and you know that for years take these boxes of chocolates of different sizes, styles etc and I have seen women as well use them to your store! I had some that were red and transparent bottom up, not very deep, deep and yours are super useful! Not if you also have used the Danish biscuit tins to store too? here as long accustomed, it is even funny. In these days I'm recycling a few pots or bottles of different things for my "studio" for sewing and is so fun, dressing and decorating. At the end see the end product use and decorate your space, Hugs, Rose Marie
ReplyDeleteCiao Mariette,grazie per l'idea!Un bacio,Rosetta
ReplyDeleteDit wist ik niet! En 47, dat is geeeeen leeftijd, jeetje....erg hoor!
ReplyDeleteIk ben zelf niet zo van de Ferrero, maar goed idee van het hergebruik!

Hallo liebe Mariette, naja am richtigen Laptop bin ich immer noch nicht, da ich wie geschrieben gestern keine Verbindung bekam .Da nun Ferien sind ist meine Tochter ja mehr zu Hause, also kein Drankommen. Deshalb bin ich momentan immer noch mit dem kleinen Netbook unterwegs. Leider kann ich nur mit dem Internet Explorer Bilder kopieren und hochladen, bei Opera klappt das hiermit nicht.
ReplyDeleteDas Problem nun ist das die Bilder zu groß sind für den nur sehr kleinen Bildschirm, sodass ich hin und her schieben muss, um Bilder oder den Post ganz zu sehen... das ist echt nervig.
Nun aber zu deinen Ferrero-Reycling-Nähutensilien-Verwahrungsdosen (tolles Wort oder?)das ist doch eine gute Idee und schnell hat man alles griffbereit :))
Nun werde ich mal versuchen deine Verlosung auch zu verlinken, drück mir die Daumen.
Dir und Pieter ein wunderschönes Osterfest, das Ihr sicherlich in eurem wunderbaren Garten geniessen werdet.
ganz liebe Grüße
Marlies
I warmly welcome Karoolina and I come from a very nice blog Poland.Masz just beautiful and wonderful ... beautiful pictures ..
ReplyDeleteHi Mariette,
ReplyDeleteLove this post and I too enjoy to repurpose boxes for supply use.
So sorry to read the creator of those delicious chocolates passed away so young. Life is very fragile.
Loved see your gorgeous gardens. You truly have a green thumb my friend. Your gardens should be in a garden book for sure. Magazine ready and delightful.
Love your giveaway too and I will add your badge to my sidebar too.
Happy Easter to you and yours.
Love and blessings,
Celestina Marie
Your idea is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and your family my dear friend.
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite chocolate. How sad that Mr. Ferrero has died so young.
Your recycling idea is fabulous, especially on this date as we celebrate "Earth Day"
Thanks for stopping by, and for your kind comment.
((( hugs to you and Pieter )))))
