I love unpacking -- such a good opportunity to purge things that strike you as particularly unattractive or no longer useful once you pull them out of the box they've been sitting in for 10 months. Also the perfect chance to try out a new system, like storing your spices in one central location rather than scattering them throughout your kitchen.

Herbs and spices generally come in packets here. Can you tell which herbs these are?

I've hoarded empty bottles as people have sent spices from the States over the past five years.

Oh, how I love Sharpies!

The finished product. Kinda. I've already had to make some adjustments, like putting the baking soda and baking powder into wider containers for less-messy leveling.

Nice organization!
I'll guess oregano and thyme,or maybe rosemary?I love your virgo organization. Nesting is so much fun!Can't wait to see pix from your trip. If you send them to me I can get A to transfer them to her Snapfish acct and make prints. I need D (and you two too) on my refrig. Love you, AJ
Good luck with the less messy leveling once "D" starts wanting to "help". But let him help its worth it. Niguel made banana bread from scratch yesterday and didn't have to help a bit. Now i'm so glad I let her help.
I will say oregano and rosemary.
I was hoping you'd start blogging again once you got back to Ukraine...hooray!
Hey - I like the idea of having the name on top and then putting them in a drawer. I wonder if mine will fit in my drawer... hmmmm... I really don't like having them stuffed into the same upper cabinet as my coffee shelf. (not that non-cooking me uses my spices as much as you probably do!) :) Shelly
Oregano and rosemary are right!
