Last week I promised to show you how I makeover my clip on earrings to accommodate pierced ears. Over the years I've found really wonderful vintage earrings but they almost always have those horrible pinchy backs which give me a headache in about a minute. So, craft store to the rescue....
 |
| You will need; earrings of course, a package of jewelry findings for pierced ears ( I purchased mine from A. C. Moore), a pair of wire cutters, and some sturdy glue that works on metal ( I used Krazy Glue). |
 |
| Simply take the wire cutters and clip off the horrible pinchy thing. This requires some strength and perhaps a choice word or two, oh and really good eyesight in order to find the horrible pinchy thing after it has flown across the room. |
 |
Now, put a small dot of glue on the flat side of the new fittings and hold to the back of the earring for a few seconds.
That's all there is to it. I let mine dry for a few hours before I wore them, but then I'm paranoid that way. |
Now, on to something new. This is a wonderfully shallow drawer in my new dresser. Want to see what I did with it?
 |
| My mother's antique wedding china fits perfectly in this drawer. Huh? You say. |
 |
| Notice how these pieces all have cracks and stains, which makes them unworthy for the dinner table. |
 |
| But there just so pretty, and they fit here so perfectly. There must be something....I know! |
 |
The perfect place to put my jewelry! You saw that coming a mile away didn't you? Seriously, it's so great to have all my jewelry organised and visible for a change. Now I can see what I'm missing in my collection. How is it I don't have any red earrings? or black earrings? or pink bracelets? I love how cheery this drawer looks now with my vintage jewelry and my mothers vintage china. I know I'll smile every time. |

I promised you a picture of the dresser after we attached the mirror. Delivered!
