A Slave to the Nature of Things: Re-inventing Pretty things

The jewelry part of my store was looking kinda lame as of late. It's been the same for like a year now, I should have changed it sometime ago, but I didn't know Pinterest then! It's so cool and inspirering, you don't even have to leave the home page--because that is loaded with cute shit.

I usually browse through some keyword photos, then turn it around and try to imrovise with what I have (I'm getting super good at that!) I recently bought out the rest of the garage sale items from a retirement home (jackpot!) and it came with a lot of cool goods.

This week, I improvised frames. My cool volunteer store person just gave me a lot of acrylic paint and I have been searching for a reason to use them.. So BLAMO!

I painted this frame antique yellow, I love this color, so much. The back of the frame conveniently hat little pegs nailed in to hold in the glass and stuff.. so I laced thin yarn through them repeatedly to make it strong enough to hang earrings from.. like soooo...

Then I seen a Pinterest photo were they used twine to decorate things. In the pile of garage sale goods, there was a cork board, but it was also pretty lame with it's white border.. so I hot glued twine to it! Looks pretty sweet!
