New Listings for Feb 22nd!

It's Wednesday again and that means new jewelry boxes!  Coming straight from my kitchen table, Here's a sneak peek at what will be listed on HDV tonight...

Note: I wanted to get this blog posted asap. A couple of the jewelry boxes are missing a handle. Never fear, those are easy fixes and will be fixed before listing tonight.

 

A huge jewelry box able to take on a large collection of jewelry... or whatever you decide to put in it. Features lots of compartments perfect for organizing.

 

 Every girl needs some jersey-ish fabuliciousness (yup, I just made up a bunch of words). This jewelry box features two drawers and a top that flips up showcasing even MORE storage and the original mirror.

Don't worry, the handle on the bottom will be fixed.

I'm in love with this jewelry box. It's big. The top flips up to reveal an unbelievable amount of storage space as well as the original mirror.  It also has two full size drawers. Love love love this one. Did I mention I really love this jewelry box?

Obviously I was thinking of a nursery when I put together this jewelry box. Imagine giving this as a baby shower gift.  Fill the inside with all things baby.  Or, if it's gonna be a girl imagine giving this as the little girl's first jewelry box? Fill it with headbands barrettes, etc...

The doors are cut out. Originally there were glass panes.  However, I dropped one of the panes. I actually like the box better being able to see through to the inside... but this was my mistake and therefore I will slightly reduce the price of the listing.

 

A sweet taste of summer. This jewelry box is clean and bright, it makes me happy just looking at it. The top opens showing off lots of compartments and the original mirror. The body of the box has four drawers and a area to hang necklaces and/or bracelets.

I will be adding a handle to the top drawer.

The fix boxes will be listed on HDV tonight at 7:00 CST.

Happy Birthday, Sydney!

This adorable girl is Sydney. For Syd's 8th Birthday she was given one of my refurbished jewelry boxes. Sydney loves her jewelry box and, according to her mom, couldn't wait to get home and organize it.

Here's the before and after of Sydney's jewelry box:

3 down and 3 to go

Tuesday night I listed six new jewelry boxes. Thus far three have sold but there are still three remaining. In the mean time I am busy creating new jewelry boxes to be listed this Wednesday, February 15th.

Here's what has sold thus far:

 

The above is one of my favorites.  A mom bought this jewelry box for her 8 year old daughter.

 This blue and white polka dot jewelry box found a home in Wyoming.

 

Finally the bright number above sold and will be given as a birthday gift for a 9 year old girl. 

As mentioned there are still three jewelry boxes available from this week (see pic below) and more to be listed on Wednesday, February 15th.

Custom Jewelry Box - before and after

This custom jewelry box was done for my very good friend, Kari.  Kari had purchased the jewelry box years ago.  She loved the functionality of the jewelry box but knew it was in desperate need of an update.  Together Kari and I decided on a color scheme and paper design that appealed to her.

Here is the before and After shot:

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....

Upcycled Thursdays - Jewelry boxes

For a long time I've wanted to refurbish vintage furniture. I've done a couple pieces for my home but nothing major.  Unfortunately I have yet to figure out a way to cheaply and easily ship furniture.  Therefore I will not be upcycling furniture for HDV.  However, I've found a way to refurbish on a much smaller scale. I have started upcycling vintage wood jewelry boxes.

And now the after pictures: 
 

I love these! Each box is unique, each one tells a story, and each box offers plenty of storage for jewelry. But they don't stop there. I have a refurbished box on my desk. It keeps my office supplies beautifully organized.  My daughter has chosen a box which I will refurbish for her bedroom. She will use it for all her special keepsakes such as polly pockets, hair supplies, chapstick, stickers and whatever else she finds valuable on that particular day.

Not all of the boxes in the above pictures have been listed on HDV, but they will be. I also have a few wood boxes I have yet to refurbish to be sure to stay tuned to HDV for new creations.
