Cubbyhole search / myLot

Today I am on the search for cubbyholes - you may wonder what that might be, well its a small hole or space for storing things. We use them most often in classrooms, but in the modern classroom the cubbyhole has been replaced by children working on 'tablets' and other devices. However my eldest daughter who is a teacher of the Arts, Dance Studies and Culture needs a wall full of cubbyholes and there are none to be found around the school. I am off to venture around thrift shops and pawnshops (as they are called here in SA) to see if any 'old' cubbyholes are there for the picking. This is not normally a thing I enjoy doing, but she doesn't have the time, and it seems I do. When last did you see a wall full of cubbyholes? After my search, which I hope proves positive, I am going to have FRIDAY TEA with a friend. Kalimera everyone. I wanted to upload a pixabay photo of cubbyholes but they were sooooooo boring, so I have decided to give you photo of a TEA POT instead!

Not at all - the job has now been commissioned to a carpenter

Maybe you could have bought her the teapot to use for storage.

I know what cubbyholes are from when I taught pre school for a year. And the above photo, is awesome looking. I wouldn't mind sitting in the tea pot and maybe read a book in there. It looks cozy.

It's the first time I heard about cubbyholes... I think it is used for the playing time of children in the classroom..

Have you checked Ikea? They have very inexpensive storage spaces divided into cubes.

someone might have to make that for her, find some baskets and then make a shelf to fit them all

The last time I had seen them was when I visited my uncle's elementary school. He was a principal. He's retired now. Also my church has them to put Christmas cards in.
