I have this jewelry frame that I have been able to complete.  It only took me 6 months.  Yikes!




Now its up for sale locally here in Mesa, AZ.

The frame measures 12 1/2" X 15"  and the metal grill area used to hang hook earrings measure
9 1/2" X 11 1/2".  A good size for hanging multiple earring sets.  Frame is distressed and goes well with the black knobs that can be used to hang fashionable bracelets or necklaces.  Be able to look at a good stock of your accessories at once.





I have been making these frame jewelry holders for years and have even posted a tutorial here a few years ago.


Asking $25


These are some of the blogs that I like to party with here.

Jewelry Hanging Organizer

I have been wanting to make one of these for a long time now.  I am so happy that I finally did it and now need to make more.

I have purchased this frame from Michael's for about $5 a few months ago.  I forgot to take a before picture.  It was a brown wood looking color.  I took some Antique White and applied a few coats. 

I was not worried about covering into the cracks because I was going to add some distress to it by adding some watered down brown acrylic paint.

I ended up deciding to only use the fleur de lis knobs that I picked up at Hobby Lobby for 50% off of $1.99 making them $1 ea.

I then got a grill from Home Depot that my brother cut down to size for me.

I think I paid under just under $10 for this. 

Then I painted the grill with Antique White spray paint and thought it was a little plain so I added brown paint to the grill as well and then wiped it off until I got the look I wanted.  I then hot glued it to the inside of the frame.

I then added hooks to the back of the frame so I could hang on my wall.  I love these hooks because you just hammer them into the back of the frame.

And walah!  Here she hangs.

And here she is all dressed up.  I love it because I had my earrings in a drawer and would hunt and hunt for my earrings.  Now I can see them and they are all displayed so neat.  I am thinking of making more to hang more bracelets and necklaces.

AZ Bloggers Tour de Thrift

OMG!  This was the coolest thing ever.  I had a great time, found some great deals, and met some fun and inspiring ladies!

Jax from Aly & Ash and Ashley from Cute As A Fox hosted this event.  We met this past Saturday with 36+ ladies at Mimi's Cafe in Ahwatukee and had breakfast and chatted and won prizes, tons of prizes from awesome sponsors.  We all received swag bags with tons, can I say TONS, of cool stuff in it.  Look at it all

There was Krylon spray paint, Behr paint samples, modge podge, Gorilla glue, vinyl from Choose The Writing, Glitter from the Crafty Chica, a frame from Jacquilyn at DoChara Photography, and discounts and promos codes from Simply Memzelle and Clocks by Staci as well as Goodwill.  We all received $5 gift cards from Goodwill too!

Speaking of Clocks by Staci, I was the lucky winner of her door FABU door prize.  I love it.  It goes perfect in my daughters room.  Thank you so much Staci for being a sponsor.

So, when we finally got done with the winning, we went to 3 different Goodwill stores to find treasures.  Here are the treasures that I found and did not spend {with the gift card included} more that $20.  It was 50% off day at our Arizona Goodwill stores and there were lots of deals I scored. 

Look at it all.  I forgot I bought some grey boots also that are not pictured.  Won't be doing anything to those, I love them just they way they are.

So I got this metal tray that I am going to cover either with material or paper or chalk board paint to make a board for the wall.

And I got this tray that I am going to make black with my trusty Rustoleum flat black spray.

I also got this dish that I am changing to black as well. {Do you see a pattern?}  I picked up a few different size and types of balls at the dollar store today that I am going to alter to make some deco balls that won't cost me a fortune.  Stay tuned for that one coming soon.

I also picked up this shanty box, I love the colors, but it doesn't go with anything I have right now.  It is also missing a leg.  I am going to remove the legs it does have and use it the bathroom for hand towels, toilet paper, etc.  But will have to change the color for that.  Probably to black. lol!  How boring am I?

I also picked up this stand that I am going to paint black and distress to add to my booth at Contagious Boutique to display some of my wares on.

How cute is this necklace?  I love it for a $1.

And then my all time favorite score so far, is this I don't know what you call it, but I can use it for my puter in bed, to read, or for someone to catch the hint a serve me breakfast in bed. hehehehe!  Has a few knicks and scratches, not sure what I will be doing with this one.  Definitely monogramming it, but that is all I have dreamed up for it right now.    Oh yeah, and just paid $4 for it too!

Next 50% day in Arizona is on July 3rd and I will be hitting it!
