Sturdy cloth napkins and similar fabric items (e.g., dish towels) can also work great for storing and/or transporting a few brooches as well. I usually adopt that approach when travelling with some of my beloved brooches, as it's lightweight, reliable and makes it so easy to see which pins I have to hand while away from home.<br /><br />Many thanks for your comment. Have a great February! <br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-25173476541601983192018-02-14T22:38:03.175-08:002018-02-14T22:38:03.175-08:00Hi Jenny, thank you very much for your comment and...Hi Jenny, thank you very much for your comment and interest in those darling earrings. Though CV is now retired, I do try to reply to continued comments here as often as I can. :)<br /><br />If memory serves me right, those earrings hailed from the accessories chain Claire's (http://www.claires.com). They tend to have a relatively fast turn over of merchandise, so I'd be quite surprised if this exact pair was still in stock, but as they do sell a lot of really cute/quirky/kitschy earrings, there's always a chance that they might have something similar in stock these days. <br /><br />Hope that helps a wee bit. Good luck with your search!<br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-85990175558409981052018-02-07T12:54:34.328-08:002018-02-07T12:54:34.328-08:00Hi!

It's wonderful w...Thank you very much, my dear. It's wonderful when one can switch out the posts or ear wires on earrings for ones that don't both them, isn't it? If the body of the earring contains the offending metal, that can still be a problem though unfortunately. It's amazing how long afterwards one's skin can be troubled by nickel. <br /><br />I'll never forget this one time when I was a teenager and I wore a new pair of jeans (with a metal button over the fly) for a few hours. There was nickel in the button (as there so often is on the metal used on jeans) and I developed a terrible rash that wept, bleed and took almost three months to finally clear up. After that, I became incredibly diligent about trying to avoid nickel in anything I wore, and thankfully - though I have been "nickeled" numerous times since - have never had quite as awful a reaction again.<br /><br />How very lovely that you adore counted cross stitch, too! I really do need to do a bit more that these days myself, too - we need more hours in these days of ours, don't we? <br /><br />Sweet thanks again & oodles of hugs,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-19573414897310686812013-05-28T17:21:39.960-07:002013-05-28T17:21:39.960-07:00What a fabulous idea!

Early last week I wore a pair of old clip-ons that I have yet to change to sterling posts, and left them on for too long (I can usually handle a few hours before things go bad). My ear lobes are still puffy and the skin is not very pleased with me at the moment. When will I ever learn?!<br /><br />By the way, I love counted cross stitch, too – I have a couple of massive projects tucked away that I should probably pull out. But these days, my sewing machine keeps me pretty busy!<br />Laura Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288197213619181028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-11792109985122303122013-05-28T17:17:00.810-07:002013-05-28T17:17:00.810-07:00Why have I never thought of this?

That's a great tip for sure! <br /><br />I used to store my pins like this as well, but then they outgrew the piece of fabric I was housing them on and I moved them to a hanging jewelry storage bag (closet type) instead (I should do a post about that ones of these days, too, come to think of it).<br /><br />Thank you very much for your lovely comment,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-80863981793944787902013-05-27T20:38:46.469-07:002013-05-27T20:38:46.469-07:00Thank you very much, sweet Joanna!

Between my nickel allergy and the fact that I have four holes in each ear (though the top three almost always just have plain faux diamond or other small stone studs in them), I really don't have many clip-on earrings. However, if I did, I think that I would buy a sturdy little faux plant (that could easily sit on the countertop in my powder room) and clip them onto the leaves and (if they'd fit around the width of them) the branches. <br /><br />If you have a collection of clip-ons, what's your favourite way to store them?<br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-19644681671571941582013-05-27T20:17:21.027-07:002013-05-27T20:17:21.027-07:00What a fabulous idea, now we need just another for...What a fabulous idea, now we need just another for clip-ons:)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439393534029787165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-47786403568645651392013-05-27T18:09:32.163-07:002013-05-27T18:09:32.163-07:00Hi Jessica!
