Pea Cup

Yes, pea cup, not pee cup, is my favorite thing of the day! It's a clever way to organize your writing pens, keep them from inking up the bottom of a favorite cup or jar, and is aesthetically pleasing. I must give credit for today's tip to Lime Tree - a boutique store in the fab new outdoor mall, Ashley Park, in Newnan. I first saw this neat idea when shopping for a gift for baby Logan's welcome home party! Look at that Logan, you're just over a month old, and already being blogged about! Find a sweet little potting cup, small glass vase, or any type of storage container you like. Add peas, and arrange your writing pens and pencils, and place a few little writing pads nearby for added function. I used a large amber colored glass candle holder from IKEA, and black beans. They used split peas at Lime Tree in a large clear apothecary jar. It looked great as well. Coffee beans can also be used, and then your pen display does double duty to frangance your kitchen or office with the smell of fresh brewed coffee.
