I have a delightful earring stand, hand made, that I purchased at the County Fair some years ago. As you can see there are several bars or slats with small slits that easily accommodate pierced earrings. In the middle are pegs on which to hang necklaces and bracelets. The troughs under the bars are handy places to put the odd necklace bob or that pair of earrings you don't want to hang up right yet.
Well, those little troughs get dusty and full of all sorts of earrings, those I've taken off and am too lazy to hang up and those that get knocked off. As I looked at the increasing disarray this spring I thought what a great little project while I'm recovering.
That project didn't happen during "recovery", but I just couldn't handle it any longer. I sat myself down the other day and commenced to get pairs back together again. One would be on this bar and it's mate on another. Quite untidy. Wish this picture showed how great it looks now. The light in the room had changed (long tedious job) and I didn't put the flash on. Anyway, the job is done. But wait, there's more.
How can I possibly put a nice clean earring rack back on a dresser that looks like this? Answer: No way, No how, No McCain.
A bit of Endust a lot of reaaranging and changing of the dresser scarf and here you have it. I found that fabric when I was looking for a quick something as placemats for a church dinner. They are rather dark for my dresser but will probably remain there untill the dresser becomes a dissaster area again and I have to get serious about cleaning it off.

Geez! You must really be bored, not to mention, you must be the Imelda Marcos of earrings.
