I decided that today was the day for me to organise my large jewellery collection.

I had a look around Flickr^{^} last night to see how other people were doing it; rings seemed to be housed in little dishes and necklaces hung up on hooks or key/towel racks/holders.

We already had hooks at home and I knew where I’d like them to be placed, I just needed to get a dish to house my rings. And off I went to the city centre…

I decided to start with the charity shops; I wanted something unusual and thought that a charity shop might be the most likely place to find something like that.
I found a this cool little ceramic duck that opened up (like a dish with a lid!) but the duck was really ugly, so I decided that, if I couldn’t find anything else, I’d go back and buy the duck.
When I went into the British Heart Foundation shop, I found a set of port glasses, which I immediately fell in love with. Unfortunately, if I wanted to buy one, I had to buy the whole set (six). Fortunately, the whole set only cost £1.75!

(I also found a set of three brass duckings and mother duck (£3.95) and a ceramic white duck (WHITE DUCK?! MUST BE MIIINE!!!11) (£1.25). I didn’t need them but I got them anyway. My mum hates the set of ducks but likes the white duck. Oh well – I like them!)

After I got home, I spent most of the day trying to make my desk and shelves look less cramped and cluttered and got my step dad to put the hooks up for me.

I ended up with this:

My desk is clear, my shelves are tidy and not cramped and my necklaces shall remain untangled.

Maybe this will inspire my sister to clean up the crap in “her corner”?
