dual purpose: jewelry box

As you can imagine, being a jewelry designer means that I have several jewelry boxes. This one in particular is very special to me as it once belonged on my Grandma’s dresser for many years.

Since I use display boxes to showcase most of my special pieces, this box has been meaningful but unnecessary.

… Until I found a new way to organize my sewing materials inherited from my mom. Now things are perfectly organized and easy to see.

And the bonus? Now I love fixing small holes or snags on my clothing because it means that I get to use the jewelry box that is meaningful and organized.

    no kidding I have the EXACT SAME box from MY grandmother, mine is a pale coral and I LOVE it! What an excellent idea for an alternative use!

    That’s a great idea. It now has double sentimental value. Moms sewing materials + Grandma’s box.

    I have this same box, too. And in the same color scheme. It also sat on my grandmother’s dresser many years ago and I have had it with me since ai left home, even living abroad.
