Thoughts on Thursday....

....so this Thursday has found me in a shabby chic kind of mood. I did a little bit of spring cleaning today and found a wonderful use for an old favorite...the coffee mug holder! I know...WHAT?!?!? but it's a wonderful idea and it brought to mind that wonderful song by Jack Johnson (love me some Jack Johnson!) The three R's...Reduce, Reuse & Recycle - so here goes my pitch to do just that! I happen to have a black wrought iron Longaberger coffee mug holder that I have not put to use for a very long time....my thought to find a new use for it -- a Shabby Chic Jewelry Tree....it's fabulous to display your necklaces, hoop earrings, watches, and rings! I put my watches in colorful organza bags and hung them from the string...very, very cute! If you have a wooden coffee mug holder...just paint it a pretty pastel color and when it is dry rub it with a piece of sand paper along the edges and down the sides...adorable I swear! Now all of your jewelry is fashionably displayed and easily accessible for Every Occasion! *Bonus idea...when you have cleaned out your jewelry box and arranged your jewelry on your new "tree" put your smaller earrings, extra backs or seasonal accessories in your jewelry box for safe keeping...organizing at it's best!! Happy Hanging! :-)
