Yay! I have the vintage lobster recipe box and I love it. I feel so cool… :)
I need a new card holder for sure! And you can’t forget about the handy (and protective) cookbook/recipe card stand!
I think the vintage one is my favorite–but really, they’re all great finds! Nice roundup.
These are great….I loved this monogrammed version too from Jack & Lulu:http://jackandlulu.com/slrecipeboxes.html
Also like Mackenzie Childs black and white check enamelware recipe box (http://www.mackenzie-childs.com/product.aspx?orgid=0&floor=&dept=0&col=0&id=12185&keywords=recipe%20box&page=0&vao=0
These are amazing! And exactly what I have been looking for; cute and well-designed storage for my completely disorganized array of recipes. Thank you!
What a great roundup! Pretty binders are my fave way to store recipes… so easy to toss in printouts from Epicurious and friends’ borrowed cookbooks!
I use an elegant/rustic recipe book
that I love! I especially love that the recipes go on Fabriano Medioevalis deckle-edged stationery!
I keep putting off buying that Fred Flare recipe box but I think it’s time…
I also just read about tastebook.com, which will make a custom book out your recipes. I plan on making one of old family recipes with pictures and what-not and giving it to all my family members for Christmas…
There is also a red Betty Crocker recipe box at Borders and at FredFlare

Yay! I love Gina B! Those ladies are all sweet. Not to give another plug but we carry this this marimekko recipe box which I am totally batty for. It doesn’t say so on the site (I don’t know WHY!) but I did call Paper Prince to verify!
I love this post! So important to me :)
lovely finds, would you consider doing a rug roundup?
these are great. the binder is a good idea- store right on the bookshelf
Oh my! I need to collect more recipes. Since I found at least 3 boxes/binders that would look too cute in my kitchen.
Thanks for the post!
Love the vintage lobster one!!! My favorite!
oh, the vintage lobster one is the one I grew up using, and my mom still uses it to this day, I am always plotting to steal it. I love recipes, and your round up is terrific – such cute storage!
You didn’t mention any of the computer recipe programs. So easy to print one out when you want a copy and mine (Mangia)give you some recipes to try out. Love mine
Here is a recipe box by Jack & Lulu: http://www.jackandlulu.com/products/rb111.html
I really love all your designs and items, where can I get them? If so do you do oversea’s courier?
Help! My wife has a worn out recipe book which she wants to replace but can’t find one. Hers is a binder with pages of heavy weight paper that resemble a Kangroo. Each page has a pouch and in the pouch you place recipe clippings, cards, etc.. Not in individual plastic slots, just loose in the pouches. Do you know where I can purchase a book like this. Thanks.
Nice summary! I kind of like the fruit-covered binder I got here:

Also a nice site for outfitting your binder with labels, page protectors and a conversion chart.
