I don’t have a jewelry box because I don’t own that much jewelry. Most of my accessories are very casual, like beads, so I just hang them from little wooden knobs on the wall. But I love earrings, and I’ve been looking for a good place to keep my growing collection. I’ve bought a plastic tray for it, but it didn’t come out very organized. This morning, I discovered a new home for my earrings by accident.
You know those little pill box that have dividers? Some even have “Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday…” labeled on each little box. I have a plain blue plastic pill box with eight slots that I discovered in my closet this morning. I was holding one pair of earrings in one hand, wondering where to place them this time, when I saw that blue pill box.
A lightbulb flashed in my head! Why not put one pair of earrings per slot in the pillbox? I dropped the pair of earrings in one slot and ta-da! Perfect! I think I’ll buy the bigger, longer versions of those pillboxes and place my earrings there. A great way to organize earrings! Maybe even rings too!
