dilemma

I'm having a bit of an organisational dilemma at the moment.  I don't know how or where to store my jewellery.  Embarrassingly at the moment it's being stored in a couple of old "freebie" toiletry bags you get with perfumes at Christmas on our bedside window.  It looks really ugly.  Everyday I look at it and think - I must do something about that.  But I don't. 


I want it to look neat, but I also want to be able to see it.  I have a tendency to 'forget' about things I own if I can't see them (out of sight out of mind).  It would also be great if it could be a bit of a 'feature' that way I'm much more likely to keep it tidy.  I love the idea of the first picture frame / pin board, but I'm not sure how practical it is.  I also think the idea of using lace to hang your earings is fantastic.  Not sure if I'd be able to pull this all together though, it would require some major 'crafting' that I'm not sure if I'm quite ready for.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Bear
Bec has a pinboard covered with black felt and dress maker pins(with the pearl knob on top). Works really well esp for necklaces. jw

Hi! My name is Georgia - I found your blog over at Curious Bird - love it! I think I will have to bookmark you space - it is just lovely.

Jewelry - I definitely like the first pic - the frame idea is really cool. You could also take a canvas, remove the actually canvas material and then stretch some lace over the wood bars and re-staple the back - that would have a similar effect but would still be really simple. Just an idea...

Personally I get paranoid that my jewelry is getting dusty when it is out, so I keep it all in an armoire type jewelry case, I have been happy with it (Red Envelope I believe). But I totally know what you mean, out of sight, out of mind...
