That's a wonderful door Margo. Are you going to use it as a "door" or turn it into a halltree or room divider or another of your wonderful creations? Jewelry looks nice too, like the bracelet made from the silverware handles especially. Luvs

On our Christmas posts someone had great jeweled cone trees. 1 pastel other 1 Victorian looking. Can't remember what it was under but they were all pinned on so could be reused. With damaged jewelry you could take a "jewel" off of 1 item & put on another to fill in hole & then spray the whole thing, no one would know! Yes, I agree that all the jewelry needs sorting,clear plastic shoe boxes or even regular shoeobxes marked on end or ziploc bags & put it all in large box, mark top of bag with items inside- so they are "filed" in the box. Whole earrings with stones or rhinestones all in a box that way you see if you have enough of something to work out your design. It's been about a year so hope you have made something up. If not organize it so it isn't so out of control. I've gotten small stashes & even that is a mess if not sorted out. Hope yoou post pics soon. Jan

There's an upscale thrift shop in town that sells nice jewelry for a nice price. I asked if they ever had any broken, mis-matched jewelry that I could have. They told me what day of the week that the volunteer jewelry lady came in and I went back on that day and left my number with her. She eventually called me and I picked up a bag of stuff and left a donation of $10. All my friends and neighbors know that I will take all the unwanted, clean out your jewelry drawer stuff. I still check garage sales once in awhile but don't find much. I used to buy large bags of it at Goodwill for $5 but that source dried up several years ago. You can check eBay and once in awhile, you will find some worth bidding on. Etsy also offers jewelry lots, sometimes known as "destash." Good luck!

Hey Shirley, Sorry I didn't see your message! I responded. I am not sure why this website hates me, but I seem to always struggle with getting the notices. Urooj, my discount plants finally bloomed again (one little one so far) it is indeed a blanketflower, will try to post a pic tomorrow! Heidi, you're too funny. I love all your silly stories. I too could never be a diplomate. Always forgetting or sticking my foot (or both feet) in my mouth. Anywho...I hope you'll all join me in my first ever VERY simple swap this month!

I love the door, it'd go perfectly in my old house!!! I have those glass door knobs on all my interior doors. What a wonderful find.
I like the braclet too.

Your charm pin is so adorable! You're very creative!

I have an really old ladies bathroom door from a fish camp that I bought from a junk shop several years ago. It's got a huge antiqued wooden star on the top half of it and the old metal and wooden toilet paper holder is still attached to the door. Someone painted "Womens Only" on the outside above the star. It was so funny that I had to buy it. I used to have it standing at the end of a long hallway in my house, but I moved and am waiting for the perfect location for it in the home I live in now. I just love old things!
