Furniture Inspirations
Part 1 of 2
One of my local clients has such a passion for handmade jewelry she has a huge collection to prove it. She says she devotes a hutch to storing jewelry rather than chinaware!

Well, thanks to a reader, Karri, who sent me this tip, here is a great furniture idea for other jewelry mavens who find the common storage units too small.

The jewelry closet idea comes from a wonderfully creative site called IKEA Hackers where furniture from the famous DIY store is deliberately hacked for other purposes. As you can see, all sorts of hanging fixtures can be used anywhere inside.

What I really like about this piece of furniture is the ability to keep things organized AND dust free. The fact that it also doubles as a dressing mirror is a bonus!

Copper Bracelet and Elvish Beaded Earrings to Match

Posted: 24 Jun 2011 04:40 PM PDT

Often the beginner beaders at our workshop delight us with lovely beaded combinations.

Cheryl's selection of purplish beads certainly does compliment the copper beads and clasp she chose for her bracelet. I love how she mixed different shapes and types of beads for her design.

She went with silver elvish earrings. The copper framed window beads and copper beads were mixed in with purplish seed beads so the earrings will go with her bracelet if she wanted to wear them together!
