Today’s the day.
I wasn’t sure I was going to get this post together in time for the tour.
Hope you guys have been following the tour.
This is day 3…if you missed anything…and the girls went all out this month….the tour links are at the end of my post.
Now for my feature….
jewelry organizer…or necklace hanger….
I have tons of vintage and costume jewelry (picked up at flea markets), and it’s about to overload the necklace hanger in my bedroom.
So I made a new one for the overflow. I can’t show you the one in my bedroom.
I don’t know if I told you….. or if you guys realize….. that all of this is just smoke and mirrors.
You only see nicely staged photos (hopefully), you don’t see the mess behind the scenes.
I hope you don’t think our homes are nice and neat and orderly.
We would scare you off if you saw the areas of our homes not in the photos.
It’s part of the blogger code….only show the pretty pictures!
I bought a gazillion of these knobs several years ago. I think they are from the 50’s or 60’s, maybe.
I remember seeing them but not sure if they were on appliances….metal cabinets…or something else.
I bet someone out there knows.
I spray painted the knobs with Krylon Cherry Red.
It’s a beautiful, beautiful, color.
The board is the backside of an old drawer front.
Ignore the silver hardware please. Those were for the Coastal Chic White Chest.
I’ve been practicing with my new camera lens.
It’s great for close-ups and for achieving the bokeh affect… which is a blurred affect around an in-focus object…or something like that.
I drilled holes in the white drawer front and just screwed the knobs on. Easy!!
The photography was the hard part….
I kept eating the props.
Who can resist chocolate kisses…and you have to have kisses for Valentine’s Day 
So that’s it folks.
What says Valentine’s Day better than chocolate and bling

I know that you are enjoying being able to see your necklaces. It makes coordinating one to go with an outfit so much easier.

I love it, Kathy! Those knobs are so cool. And I’m laughing at your comment about the pretty photos. Just the other day my daughter said she can always tell when I’m doing a photo shoot because ONE PART of the room looks really great! Lol. Have a great week! ~ Angie

I’m in love! Bling & chocolate! I may never leave Kathy! Really digging the cool hardware in Cupid’s red!

I LOVE this project. It is so practical and beautiful. Once again I am inspired by all that you create with odds and ends!
Meegan says
What a beautiful idea Kathy. What a great gift for anytime of year. Your creativity always blows me away!!
Thanks for making this such a great tour.
CONNIE says
Yep…Bling & Chocolate. Love those knobs! They remind me of the 50’s decor/designs.

Absolutely love this! Beautiful color used and very useful for a beaded-jewelry-creating-enthusiast! 🙂 I really appreciate the comment about bloggers only using “staged pics” lol. Made me relax a little! Always wondered how to be a FT blogger, mama (of two boys…no small feat!), housecleaner, chef extrordinaire, DIY-selfer, etc. Take away the clean part and I can almost manage! Haha, anyhow, I stumbled upon your page accidentally through a couple of links. So happy I did, I love your stuff! Keep up the good work.
