Etsy Finds | dream once more

Here’s a thing about me: I own a lot of earrings. And by a lot I am talking 60+ pairs. To be more precise, I own 63 pairs of earrings. Unless I counted wrong. Anyway, they are beautiful and sparkly and I love them. And the number is ever growing, thanks to cheap fashion jewelry stores (SIX, I’m looking at you!).

I have lots of different earrings, big, small, silver, colorful. Some I wear all the time, some I wear hardly ever, some I used to wear all the time and now I don’t. But I would never just throw them away. Even though most are not silver and only cost me $5-10. But you know the problem about owning so many pairs of earrings? How do you organize them? Sure, they all fit into a box that is fairly small – and that’s how I store them. But you can guess how long it takes to find a matching pair when they’re all jumbled up like that, often entangled and all in a big messy pile.

Right, so this box? Is far from perfect. In fact, I am sure it is the nightmare of anyone with OCD. And every time I cannot find the second earring unless I take apart the entire box, it is my nightmare too. But you know, this could be so much prettier. Because there are so many great organizing solutions for storing your earrings out there, and not only are they, well, neat, but they are also creative, stylish and beautiful. And I swear, one day (soon), I will buy one of those jewelry holders for myself. Or heck, maybe I’ll even get crafty and make my own. Until then, I will just keep window-shopping on Etsy.
