All My Little Ladies!

As of late, the little ladies of the world have been my best customers. Girls from the ages of newborn (a great gift idea for a baby shower) to teens have been wanting, getting and coveting the HDV refurbished jewelery boxes. 

Many girls use the their boxes to store jewelry while others (such as my daughter) use the jewelry box to store every tiny little treasure she can shove in it.  Still others use their jewelry box to organize American Girl doll accessories. 

Here are a few (and by "a few" I mean a ton)  examples of the recent jewelry boxes I've created for our younger generation....

A few ideas

Today's blog post features a few creative ways to use refurbished jewelry boxes.  Place your jewelry box on a desk, dresser, or in a craft room. Place it on a bathroom counter, a book shelf, or in the family room... because it's much too pretty to tuck away in a closet.

First, the obvious:

A Few of My Favorite Things to Get Organized

Oh yes, I want to be one of those people. One of those who has their life in complete order. Everything perfectly in it's place. Labeled. Put away. Neat. Even if it's hidden. Okay, I may be dreaming, but I'm working on it. I've been in a cleaning and organizing mood lately. Oh it feels so great to go through cabinets, drawers, and closets and get rid of stuff. The key for me, though, is KEEPING it that way. Hence this blog post. Now that I've cleaned it all out I need some ways to keep it all in it's place and keep it organized.

I'm especially drawn to the vintage industrial "wire" look. Here are a few of my favorites that can hopefully help fill my organizational dreams...

.

LOVE love LOVE these locker baskets by oldcrowfarm. They would be prefect in my mud room to organize my family's hats and mittens, school stuff, and work things. $32.00 a piece. I LOVE them!

I've never seen a pink basket like this one. Isn't it cute? This pink wire basket is by alittlevintageshop and costs only $7.00. I would love this for my daughter's room to hold her artwork from preschool, toys, or maybe even (if I was ever THIS organized) place her clothes that we pick out the night before for school. If only!

This metal bottle crate by cottagefarm is fantastic. $26.00. I would love this in my laundry room to hold detergent and ironing supplies. (Who am I kidding? I hardly ever iron. But my iron would still look great in this, don't you think?)

And finally, this wall letter organizer, $17.00, by JarganJamber. If your house is anything like mine there are always bills, letters, school papers, magazines, etc lying about. Keep them organized and in their place with this clever little number.

Just a few ideas for some great organizational helpers. And believe me, I need all the help I can get.
