My corner of the bathroom vanity just keeps getting more fun and dramatic by the day! My earrings came out of "The Box" a few days ago and are now hanging on my vintage cheese grater (see my last post). Now my necklaces have been untangled and are being displayed in all their glory, suspended from cuphooks I screwed into an small wooden shelf I found at an unnamed re-sale store. I even have room for a few bracelets on the shelves. I'm really pleased with how the project turned out. This could be done with any small shelf you have lying about. Predrilling pilot holes makes the hooks easier to screw in and the whole project, including hanging the necklaces, took me less than 45 minutes from start to finish. Being able to see what I have, and not having to untangle something before I wear it, makes wearing jewelry fun again. My fine chains and real jewels are feeling much less claustrophobic now that all the costume stuff has moved out of the jewelry box. (I can practically hear them heaving great sighs of relief. With costume jewelry, it's always a party!)
On another subject...I just LOVE my new community! Tom, Christopher and I just got back from a "Tucker Rd" BBQ at our neighbor's house. Everyone who lives on Tucker was invited and over 40 people showed up! The host family grilled up some hot dogs and burgers and the rest of us brought side dishes and desserts. We all had such a good time that we'd like to do this regularly. I'm thinking me 'n Tom should plan on hosting a get-together in the fall---maybe even have a hayride or something. It's a blessing to have nice neighbors with whom you have a relationship, especially when you live in the country.
On yet another subject...I've been busy reupholstering a chair I picked up at yet another unnamed re-sale store. I'll share the pics when the job is done, so stay tuned!
