I spent this weekend repurposing some of the varied sauch dishes I have collected over the years. I love their delicate look, and I like that they arent' wasting away on a shelf waiting for the next time I want some soy sauce.

A step up from tea lights
I filled these leafy sauce dishes with lavender scented wax with a slight tint of color, using the same technique as these refillable candles. When the candles burn down, all I have to do is pop them in the freezer for a little while and the wax will come right out!

Jewelry catchall
I'm forever leaving earrings and necklaces all over my apartment. Now I have these dainty sauce dishes on the kitchen counter, my nightstand, and at my desk to keep everything from wandering away.

The dishes pictured above were from World Market and Crate & Barrel, respectively. But you can find loads of options online:
