Tracy Porter Video: 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 that’s now layered in. I don’t 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 tune’ll change…… who knows. For now I like my mish~mash of fun stuff!
Well now that we’ve shared all that… and you know my jewelry drawer was all a-shambles and in need of some serious TLC… I’ll be on with it. I had this thought about how pretty it all is, and then it’s all tangled up in that sorry drawer, really… shame on me. I am always wanting to pull the “pretty”out 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?
Kisses,
