       7 . A wire storage device of  claim 6 , wherein the first and second retaining hook at the bottom of the invention are to receive and hold in place an edge of a lid.  
   
   
       8 . A wire storage device of  claim 6 , wherein the inwardly facing arc of wire centered on the longitudinal axis of the invention in regard to the front elevation is to receive or support a surface area of a lid in a leaning or up-right position.  
   
   
       9 . A wire storage device of  claim 6 , wherein the invention is a storage device for additional objects such as china, plates, plant pot holders, vinyl records, discs, rope, books, folders, papers, pie plates, cake pans, measuring cups and many other objects.  
   
   
       10 . A wire storage device of  claim 4 , wherein the first and second retaining hook of wire at the bottom of the invention and the inwardly facing arc of wire centered on the longitudinal axis of the invention in relation to the front elevation of the invention have a range in diameter of ⅛ to 2 inches and the length of wire extending between the first retaining hook and the inwardly facing arc of wire and the length of wire extending from the inwardly facing arc of wire to the second retaining hook has a range of length between 2 and 8 inches; and the distance the first and second retaining hooks are from one another range between 1 and 6 inches; and each wire extending from or through the loop has a range in length between 5 and 10 inches; and the distance the inwardly facing arc of wire is to each of the wires extending from or through the loop range between ⅛ and 2 inches.  
   
   
       11 . A wire storage device of  claim 5 , wherein the first and second retaining hook of wire at the bottom of the invention and the inwardly facing arc of wire centered on the longitudinal axis of the invention in relation to the front elevation of the invention have a range in diameter of ⅛ to 2 inches and the length of wire extending between the first retaining hook and the inwardly facing arc of wire and the length of wire extending from the inwardly facing arc of wire to the second retaining hook has a range of length between 2 and 8 inches; and the distance the first and second retaining hooks are from one another range between 1 and 6 inches; and each wire extending from or through the loop has a range in length between 5 and 10 inches; and the distance the inwardly facing arc of wire is to each of the wires extending from or through the loop range between ⅛ and 2 inches.
