Sorting Silver

I just started my new job in retail, and as employee's we have to emulate our brand through accessorizing. So everyday I'm decked out in various layers of bangles, long chain pendants, and chandelier earrings. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about getting the opportunity to play dress up everyday. But my poor costume jewelry doesn't have a home. In my old place I had all my necklaces hung up in my walk-in. But they have found a comfy place above our tv in the bedroom, which is conveniently placed right next to the door. (Read: I rip off all my jewelry after work and put it on the first horizontal thing I find, ie. the Tv stand)
So it is time to ORGANIZE! hip hip hooray!!

Martha Stewarts: De-cluttering small things
They used small Japanese bowls to sort out earrings. So cute!

wood prep bowls set of 6 $9.99 Sur La Table
porcelain ramekins $3.50 each Sur La Table
Mini Glass Bowl Set $9.95 Crate And Barrel
I thought these would be so cute if you could decoupage them with whatever! My mom did it once and they turned out great.

And who says they all have to match!!?

And I absolutely love this branch idea.

I'm having a yard sale tomorrow!

Me and the boyfriend have worked very hard all day to prepare for our yard sale tomorrow! Organizing for it has made us acutely aware of how many unnecessary nick-knacks we simply possess. Over 90% of the things we had stored hadn't been touched or thought about in over a year. Since we're moving, we're trying to get rid of as many things as possible, so hopefully there will be a good turn out.
It's too hot down here in the south right now, we're starting early, and providing beverages... I thought complimentary margaritas would be a good idea, but I got out voted...so we are doing strawberry lemonade ...and being from "the land of football" and dating a former athlete, only a Alabama Football Cooler ...not any of these stylish spigot jars....perfect for big batches of ice, cold lemonade.

After 5: Del sol spigot jar with stand $39.99



Crate and Barrel: Recycled Glass Spigot Jar $39.99

Pottery Barn: Vintage Inspired Glass Dispenser $59

I just hope that we get some things sold...but everything left over we are taking to the Hannah Home Battered Women and Childrens Donation Center .
Have a relaxing, fun weekend!
