NOTE FROM STACY

I hope you are all enjoying your summer!
Being a confirmed jewelry girl, with lots and lots of earrings, just like many of you, I am always looking for new solutions to organize my ever-growing earring collection. I have enjoyed having discussions on this fun subject with some of my consultants, hostesses and guests at our parties. So this month I would like to share with you a few "earring organizing" ideas that I have gathered over the past few months.

• Use cute wine glasses, martini glasses or tea cups to hang your French hook-style earrings over the edge.
• Use a fireplace screen, decorated with ribbon or buttons to give it a flair.
• Similar to the fireplace screen idea, staple screening or cross-stitch fabric cut to fit an old large picture frame without glass. Place your earrings into the holes that are already provided.
• Use large novelty buttons that can hold up to 2 pair of earrings, and sew onto a curtain or cloth for display and organization of jewlery.
• In a pinch, or tight budget, take 2 nails or tacks and tie a ribbon or pipe cleaners around each end. Hang earrings that dangle, or use grosgrain or other ribbon that you can push post-style earrings through.
• Ice cube trays are great for organizing earrings. The trays are stackable and fit most drawers.
• You can also use see-thru plastic tackle boxes.
