I think it’s abundantly clear from this photograph that I like teardrop shaped earrings.

I designed and built this “jewelry rack” myself. Which is to day that I found that piece of wood in the house (I believe it was a runner for a dresser drawer in its past life) and put a hand full of hooks into it, and then drilled holes in the back (at an angle) with a dremmel tool. I’m so crafty that way. It has become one of my most favorite things.

Now, not only do I wear jewelry more often (than never), but I get to see all of it every day. There are pieces hanging on the rack that were gifts from best friends, and there are pieces that were left to me by my great grandmother when she passed. I love being reminded of my friendships and my family history every morning.
