It’s no secret that I have a lot of jewelry. Perhaps too much {is there such a thing?}. I grab cheap baubles wherever I go and periodically add a nice piece or two along the way. Basically, my jewelry cup runneth over.
I’ve been storing most of my jewelry on top of my dresser in a cool wooden box I got thrifting a couple years ago, and it’s been great. But I wanted something a little more organized. Because I’m O.C.D. like that.
After seeing my friend Kami’s milk glass collection, I thought it would be so pretty for storing jewelry. It’s pretty and perfect for compartmentalizing. Two things I love.
We have an amazing antique store downtown in my little city, so I headed down and found a handful of amazing milk glass {and it was on sale! bonus!} and I’m thrilled with the result.
The pretty little pieces sit on my dresser, coralling my treasures, looking effortlessly gorgeous.
Should we all be so lucky.

Beautiful! The blue one is my favorite! A blue collection would be so cool!
Kami, there’s another blue piece I need to go back and buy. So pretty.
I am totally OCD like “that” too! I am also an avid collector of antiques and thrifted goodness and adore the way your solution fits into your life {though your antiqued wooden jewelry box sounds quite lovely too!}.
So pretty!

Well, my necklaces are still in the wooden box, so I’m just antiqued everywhere!
For lack of freaking you out.. I have to tell you Allison, that you inspired me to start on the jewlery wagon. I use to wear two pieces, my wedding ring, and a small necklace. Then I realized one day watching your blog “I can pull this off”
I started zooming the jewlery section at Forever 21 {since that is all I can fit in at that store} and bought cheap stuff that way if I didn’t follow through I wasn’t out so much… now about 2 years later I don’t leave the house without some big earrings or a long necklace! Thanks! :)
P.S. the bottom earrings {silver teardrops} I have those! Forever 21 too?
Why would that freak me out? Not at all! I love that you’ve started wearing more jewelry, that makes me totally happy! And yes, those are totally Forever 21. Their clothes might be ridiculous but their jewelry is fabulous costume-y heaven!
