Christmas Fallout
I’m happy to report the biggest issue that came out of Christmas, for me, was jewelry storage. I received two pairs of earrings and bought myself two pairs over the course of the holiday season, and then I looked at the massive tangled mess of my vintage jewelry tray and really - enough is enough. So, directly after Christmas I went looking for an earring tree.
Now, just Google that: “Earring Tree” - and see what kind of foolishness you turn up. I don’t know what I finally searched to turn up this from Urban Outfitters, but, in any case: Hallelujah. Because I was about to live with an unruly pile of newly purchased and newly received dangly earrings before spending money on the stuff that was initially turning up in my Googlin’.
When we got home last night my new jewelry stand was present and accounted for, but I’m finding that 1) I have a lot of tarnished silver jewelry (bad Nikki!); 2) I have some jewelry that I’m keeping for sentimental reasons that I won’t be wearing any time soon; 3) I have more necklaces than I originally thought. So, I think I need the following: a small jewelry box and a necklace storage solution. I’m thinking of this box from Urban Outfitters or this one. The necklace storage is more problematic, apparently, since I’m not turning up anything awesome on Google and UO doesn’t have anything on offer that I’m wild about (otherwise I would obviously be lazy enough to just order from there again, since, why not?). Ideas?
