I just stumbled across this awesome little business card filing cabinet at a Goodwill thrift store. Coin envelopes fit perfect in it all in alpha and numerical order. It is too small for my large collection of seeds but thought that Tomatovillians might like a well organized seed collection idea. I am going to use it to organize my crosses. I figure you may be able to fit at least 100 possibly 200 seed packets in it. There are some online retailers that sell a double and triple unit also. I may buy several and just screw them together to fit my large collection. Im also on the lookout for a vintage apothecary cabinet that would work the same. Everything im finding around me is outrageously priced thanks to Hipsters What do yall think?

Yes Hipsters are bringing the price of everything up.
It is hard to find this stuff anymore.
Great find.
I just hope they dont start pressure canning.

A hipster is a young wannabe aging hippie that follows all of the latest trends.
Like man buns.

Here's an oak library cabinet that I bought at an auction a few years back, it came out of Northern Illinois University. I think all your seeds would fit. I'm moving to my cabin and there is no room for it, plus it ways a ton. I'd take $150 for it, but shipping to California would probably cost a grand.

I second Labrador's YUCK to man buns!

What man in his right mind would wear his hair in a bun?

...I think I just answered my own question.

I see this every day.
They say they are open minded but they look down on everyone but people like them.
Most of them think they are smarter than everyone else that isn't like them.'
They wont give you the time of day on the street much less look, at you for the most part.
Typical hipsters.

What a shame. No room in a closet to stuff it? Those library catalog cabinets work good. You see a lot of green house growers with them.

Some times if you call around a library may have an old one stuffed somewhere's they willing to get rid of.


Something else I have seen is where somebody has built a bunch of small wooden slots and put small plastic tubs in the slots and put labels on the outside. They keep not only their seed in the containers, but any labels they might have in the back of the box.

I'm moving from a 4000 sq ft house... that I've been cursed with, to a 1650 sq ft cabin I built myself... I love it! It took 10 years but I have no debt/mortgage on either one. So I'm downsizing a lot of things... Need a 4'x8' lawyers desk with carved lion heads?

It should have carved vultures heads not loins heads.
