As we all tighten our budgets, we are looking for ways to save money in every area of our lives.  We find ourselves asking questions like:  How can I make my car last longer?  How can I stretch my grocery dollar?  And how can I shop for clothing less?  Fortunately, the last question has an easy answer.  To spend less on money on clothes, you’ve got to use what you have better.  With clothes, that means you will want to take better care of them to make them last longer.  There are many ways to do this, and one of the easiest and cheapest methods is to use vinyl hanging shoulder covers.

Vinyl Shoulder Covers

These nifty clothes saving inventions couldn’t be easier to use.  Simply hang your clothes up as you normally would on a hanger, gather a few of those hangers together and then slip one of these plastic clothes storage bags over the top of the hanger.  This helps with everything from dust and water stains to damage from moths and other insects.  And since they are crystal clear, you can still see everything that you have in your closet.

Here are some additional ways to make your clothes last longer:
1.     Cedar - Cedar is a natural insect repellent and smells heavenly, doing double duty in the closet and helping to extend the life of your clothing.  Look for cedar hangers, sachets and other products.
2.    Washing Carefully - Don’t be lazy with your laundry.  Following the manufacturer’s instructions on washing and drying can save wear and tear, extending the life of your garments substantially.  Example:  If it says wash in cold water, then do so.  Not HOT water, not WARM water, just cold.
3.    Out of Season Clothes Storage - store clothes that are out of season properly, taking careful care to keep them free from moisture damage.  Sealed plastic boxes and garment bags are two simple ways to do this.

Natural Canvas Cotton 6 Shelf Sweater Bag with Bamboo Inserts

Some people are really good at organizing their homes with meticulous diligence and making do with whatever little resources are at hand. Unfortunately, I am not one of them. I need lots and lots of help.

While my friend Maria’s closet always shines with stacked, categorized and color-coded perfection, mine, until recently, looked more like the aftermath of an F5 degree tornado.

I made peace with the fact that I will never match the organization skills of detective Monk or Ms. Monica Geller, but the situation doesn’t have to be completely hopeless. The trick, as I found out just recently, is to divide the overwhelmingly chaotic space into smaller, more manageable structures.

For me, designating storage spaces for particular items creates a few tiny, contained messes that all of a sudden don’t look so atrocious. Hanging closet organizers prove to be one of the most efficient and cost-effective storage solutions.  From cascading skirt hangers to revolving tie racks, from over-the-door shoe keepers to hanging garment bags - the possibilities for creating an orderly and easy to maintain closet are endless.

My personal favorite is the Natural Canvas Cotton 6 Shelf Sweater Bag with Bamboo Inserts. Sweaters, hats, gloves and scarves are notorious for undermining your attempts at stacking them in a neat, tidy manner, having a tendency to give in to gravity and just fall over when you are not looking. Curb that sabotage by trapping such items in cozy compartments where they have nowhere to go.

Life’s challenges and complications are abundant, and you have more important battles to fight than the ones with your closet. Simplify. Give yourself room to breathe. A well organized space provides a peace of mind and helps you rid your thoughts of clutter. Making your home a safe haven is easier than you might think. You can get yours at Stacks and Stacks!

Laundry Valet Rod

No, this isn’t a fairy tale about a little magic clothes hanger that helped Santa by leading all the reindeer through a foggy night. No! This is a true tale of how a little metal hanger saved my first holiday experience with the in-laws (and maybe my marriage).

Well, it all started last year when I was living in the frigid and damp environs of Boston, MA. The sort of place you always need a coat in the winter, and in turn, a sturdy clothes hanger for the substantial weight of my puffy jacket collection.

My newly-minted in laws were coming into town for the holidays, and being from sunny California, boy did they bring a lot of extra winter wear! We saw the sights of Bean Town and had decided to go out for dinner on Christmas Eve and my father in law chose to wear his favorite leather jacket, handed down for generations. I decided the weather looked clear enough and we should just hoof it home. While walking back to our apartment we were caught in a white-out blizzard, leaving my father-in-law’s jacket soaked, and near ruin.

Luckily I had planned ahead and purchased the Laundry Valet Rod! This strong metal hanger really came in handy when we needed to drip dry that leather jacket. My favorite part is that we were able to fit all of our jackets onto just one of these wall mounted metal hangers, with plenty of room for my aforementioned puffy jacket collection (I now have eight). I was able to adjust the rod to hang the jackets horizontally, allowing them to drip on my brand new carpet instead of onto each other! The next morning every jacket on the clothes hanger was dry as a bone. I was impressed with how my valet rod had saved the day. It came with an oil rubbed bronze finish and was made from chrome plated steel, purchased from the gang at Stacks and Stacks!

So ends my tale: the leather jacket was saved, drip drying away on the Laundry Valet Rack. In turn, Christmas was saved and my in-laws were in awe of my foresight.

Hi folks, Nicole here.  I hadn’t been seeing alot of really cool garment racks lately, because I was busy studying the art of metaphysical self transportation.  I have to say that it kinda worked.  But it was kinda scary too.  I was just dreaming of Cabo San Lucas, and then, I WAS THERE.  Really there.  IN THE OCEAN, too.  So all my clothes were wet.  You can BET that I could have used a GARMENT RACK at that moment!  But then I thought about being home, and poof, I was home again!  Metaphysical self transportation is dangerous and scary and very real.  Be careful!

Hey, want to see something cool?!  You can store a variety of clothing and other items on this sturdy 2 Shelf Garment Rack! The unbreakable closet rod allows you to hang your wardrobe without worry. Equipped with easy rolling casters, this garment rack is easily moved from room to room. The 2 shelves provide extra storage potential for shoes, purses and other accessories. Neat! Great for the garage, guest room, bedroom, or classroom! Features Sturdy tubular metal construction, 4 easy rolling wheels, 2 shelves for extra storage. Available in White or Chrome from the gang at Stacks and Stacks!

Sometimes it’s crazy to imagine how many ways there are to use a garment rack. But hang in there! Here’s a new one!

There are collapsible garment racks that would be great for bring back and forth from your booths. This first option comes in a variety of sizes and is constructed of commercial grade materials. It breaks down for easy storage and travel and also has wheels for convenience.

The second option for you is the Fol-D-Rak, a portable garment rack. It’s great because it is lightweight, only 6 pounds, and it holds up to 150 pounds or 40-60 garments! The rack folds up to a slim 4” wide so it’s easy to store and easy to travel with.

The main difference between these two items is the size, weight and wheels.

Both of these options will work great at the flea market coming up!
