Andrea's Hands

In reading this blog you may have noticed from my posts (despite how few and far between they are, sorry mom!) that I'm a bit of a jewelry fiend. Over the years I've not-so-slowly acquired a collection of handmade, vintage and brand new baubles. I love collecting jewelry, but as my collection grows I'm finding that I have to get more inventive with my storage for them as they've long outgrown my petite jewelry box. 

I think a great storage and display method is to have pieces dangling from unconventional objects- my mom thinks similarly and snapped up these great little hands knobs for me to use.

 So cute and a great decoration piece. 

Hanging just below an awesome collage piece that mom my made for me and had framed - she's the crafty one of our duo!

The perfect hooks!

Love how these look but I hope I can find more hands soon, because there's already new jewels to hang!

Hands Up! It's Shoppin' Time

What are those crazy colored hands doing there, you might ask? Well, as mentioned in my previous post, I have moved. My apartment is brand new, but barren. The walls are blank, frames un-hung and kitchen incomplete. I have furniture that was purchased specifically to fit the confines of my old baby digs and situated in the new one, looks like a doll's. It's as if an eight-year-old set up shop in my apartment and purchased a sofa and coffee table based on the dimensions of their Easy-Bake Oven. Polly Pocket had a larger TV stand than me.


Though it won't be this way for long because help is on the way - in the form of Cottage! Mom's coming to New York to help me decorate. Hooray! 


We're going to do some serious shopping: scouring flea markets, snapping up dishes and perusing home decor stores. Later in the week we'll show you some our favorite secret and not-so-secret spots. And because I'm an impatient person, I did a bit of preliminary scouting this weekend, which brings us back to the colorful limbs:

Can you guess which shop these hands are all popping up out of?

  

No? How about these tea caddies? I know, I know tea caddy isn't their official term, but I can't remember what they're called. 

Still don't know? Do you give up? Do ya? Well, that's too bad, because you'll have to wait until my next post to find out! Ha-ha! Now you having to keep reading the blog! I'm tricky, aren't I? But if you know it, guess in the comments!
