Rustic Jewelry Organizer {repurposed vintage garden rake}

I've started wearing jewelry lately... shocking for me, I know.  I don't do it often, but I do like to try to get dressed up occasionally.  School teachers are supposed to dress up to go to work, right?  But I like jeans... so, I figure if I wear a nice necklace, it will look like I tried.

Several months ago, I was asked by my ward Relief Society to teach a class on DIY organization projects.  I had a few ideas of my own, but I wanted to find more ideas on Pinterest.   I came across this gem ... not sure the original source.  

I Loved the idea... but wasn't sure if I had room to hang it in my kitchen any where near where my stove was.... it seemed silly to hang it way across the kitchen and have to go fetch a spatula to cook. 

Then it dawned on me... it could hold my necklaces in the bathroom!  So, I went to my dad and asked for an old rake.  He brought me home the perfect rake from the ranch that my mom had used to tidy up the dirt:)

Normally, I would probably spray paint it turquoise.  However, in my bathroom, I am going for a more rustic look... I have an old window with peeling paint, so this rusty rake goes with it perfect!

Oh, and notice, the necklaces are hanging in rainbow order... need orange:)

Jewelry Dilemma

So, we had a yard sale this past weekend. My mom was going to be in town, so she said that she would bring up my Grandma's old jewelry so that we could put it in the garage sale. I was in a rush, but I quickly opened the "jewelry box" and found countless clip-on earrings inside.
Seriously... how could I sell those awesome earrings? My grandma didn't have a lot of money so they aren't expensive real jewels, but they are totally cool, vintage clip-on earrings, nevertheless.

I even found a pendant in there from when my Grandma was the fire chief of the first all women's fire department in her small town of Kanarraville, UT. That thing is priceless... not garage sale material.

So, here is where I need your help!!! What do I do with all of these earrings??? Do I just stick them in my cedar chest and pull them out to look at every few years? Or do I make something out of them? And what do I make? Please leave a comment and give me suggestions!!!

This is my grandma's so called "jewelry box." I for sure know what to do with that! It holds 12x12 paper. I've been wanting something to organize my scraps.... yeah! I think this will work.

Christmas Crafts

Here are the Christmas craft gifts that I made. I made this Coke apron for my Sister-in-law, Sydney who has a Coke kitchen. Cami helped me make this necklace and earrings for my beautiful niece, Natisha.

I don't usually make Christmas gifts, but this was really fun!
