In Recognition Of All Magpies... A Jewelry Drawer Reorganization

Do tell me it has happened to you too? You know, your jewelry drawer starts to look more like the junk drawer from your mudroom (now I am just praying you all have junk drawers?). I know you know I am the queen magpie, a stasher of sorts, a squirrel, a pack rat yes all that. If it is shiny or feathery or stringy or glittery or quite frankly any texture at all I keep it. Sick but true. My jewelry drawer is made up of stuff I have had since I started shopping vintage in my teens. Then we designed our own jewelry, so thats now layered in. I dont own anything of much monetary value as jewelry goes, more pull at your heart strings sort of stuff. I know I have shared with you that I have always told John from day one No jewelry gifts for me Trees, yes Boxwoods, indeed More animals, surely. No fancy jewelry. Maybe at some point in my life that tunell change who knows. For now I like my mish~mash of fun stuff!

Well now that weve shared all that and you know my jewelry drawer was all a-shambles and in need of some serious TLC Ill be on with it. I had this thought about how pretty it all is, and then its all tangled up in that sorry drawer, really shame on me. I am always wanting to pull the prettyout of the drawers so I did. Check out the fun twist in our video Mine is an armoire in our bedroom, now all decked out with found objects from our home Where will you put yours?

A few thoughts to consider

* Small statues or sculptures are great for necklaces Have anything from your garden that you could use?

* Bracelets are spectacular in a big silver bowl.

* Teacups or other small pantry dishes are ideal for rings, brooches and the like.

* Lamps always try to squeeze a small lamp into your vignette.

* Be inspired by a fanciful, extraordinary woman I keep thinking, what would Coco do?

Great idea, I collect vintage jewelry and I have costume jewelry dating back to my days working the Resonance Fair in the late 60's, as well as jewelry for other costumes, pirate, gypsy etc. I also collect jewelry boxes, I love this idea.

Wow!!!! I did a search for "my jewelry organization" and this video popped up! I had no idea you had a YouTube channel! I have 2 of your books: "Dreams from Home" and "Inspired Gatherings." I LOVE them! I've read them both many times each :) They're VERY inspirational to me and for my style :) I'm definitely going to have to check out your other videos! I love your work very much :)

Ha, I just re-organized all my jewelry last night but now I might make a few changes :)
