Getting Organized (NQ)




My sewing machine has been on the Fritz the last few days, but it's actually good, bcs I needed to spend more time on other stuff anyway, like getting orgenized! Here in Germany, instead of using file cabinets, most people seem to file their paperwork in binders like these and then shelve it in regular bookshelves. I found these cool labels that sort of disguise the binders at a museum shop. I love Carl Larsen, sort of the Swedish Norman Rockwell. Would love to someday build and decorate a house in the C Larsen style. Someone in the Midwest did this, altho he made the house in much larger (American) proportions.

Those binders are beautiful. I like Carl Larson also. Too bad he's not better known.

Here's a link to an eBay shop that sells these. Don't be put off by the pic at the top. You can choose from the whole catalogue below. Unfortunately, i cdn't find one that sells the Larsen labels, but can ask at the museum shop where i found them.

This is a great binder idea! I'm going to have to make some this summer to spice up my new office. We're moving offices due to construction. I love Carl Larsson.
