Surprises from the I.D.E.A. Store



When we were at the I.D.E.A. Store the other day, I picked up some tin film containers thinking I would get out my label maker and make some labels for button storage or something like that. I wasn't positive what I would do with them but thought they were pretty fun! I was also looking for a piece of wood to make a hook rack for Brenna. I found a nice piece of walnut and had good intentions of putting about three hooks on it. Sorry Brenna! 



I decided to put these little tins ON the wood and turn the piece into an earring and necklace holder. Then I thought that I wouldn't like my earrings on the cold, hard tin so I lined them with felt! 



 I love all of the bright colors of felt, so festive!



Sorry, the picture is kind of busy.  I just had to show how you can hang lots of long necklaces and have plenty of space to hide your earrings!  


I was thinking about putting it in our new shop, but am seriously considering keeping it! Maybe a trip back to the I.D.E.A. Store is in the very near future!

If you have never been there, you have to go. You never know what you will find, and what you do find may be totally unexpected! It's always an adventure, and the people who work there love interacting with their customers, always willing to help.
