applause for the simple vase!

Here’s a quick organizing trick. I loooove jewellery but really struggle with storing it. Bangles are especially bulky, and take up a lot of room in my little chest of drawers.
Here’s my latest solution: we all have glass vases floating around that we don’t need….
I feel like I just killed two birds with one stone because by doing this I managed to get rid of two vases off of my stuffed vase shelf at the same time ~ oh bliss!
Yes, I do have to empty out the vase if I want a bracelet at the bottom, but it isn’t a big deal. The best thing is that by being able to see them, I find I’m wearing them more. It’s the worst when you have great stuff and forget to wear it.
I bet there are more uses for glass vases if we put our minds to it….let me know if you use them for other things!

I like that idea! Now how about an idea for all of those wine decanters I keep getting! There are just too many. Last year someone gave me a large flat vessel with a lid on it. I did find a use for that one when we came home from your P.E.I. cottage with a collection of shells, rocks, and what-have-you. It all looks great in there sitting on top of a thick layer of sand.
Great and colorful idea - I will pass on this idea to Echito!

Love the happy bangles in those vases, Cobi.
Really enjoying your blog, and I’m glad to see your decorating talents again.

Very pretty Cobi! I like how you’ve organized them by colour family too.
Cheers!

Hey there, nice to find you again.
Right now, my vases are full of various gourds and mini pumpkins. Tis the season! I like your idea - they are fun shots of colour to add to the room.
All the best.
