Jewelry storage bits & bobs.

Working at my local thrift store has it's perks: getting a 50% discount on already super cheap stuff and being constantly surrounded by clothes, accessories, and stuff for around the house.  We were having a really slow night last night so i decided to look around for some bits & pieces i could use to help organize my jewelry better.  I've been having countless problems with the way i store my jewelry lately, it's so unorganized, everything gets tangled or lost, it's hard to look for something you want, etc.  Although i haven't completely solved this problem, i purchased two things to help sort it out a bit.
The first thing i found was this shallow, little box.  It has a grippy sort of bottom to it, which really helps the earrings stay in place.  It is a bit small to fit all of my earrings, but it fits a majority of the studs and is actually really handy when i'm in a hurry in the morning.  I believe this was only about 99c, but as i mentioned before i get a 50% off discount, so this was definitely an absolute bargain!
The second and last thing i bought was this dainty, little dish that i use as a ring-tray-sorta-thing.  I like to display my jewelry, not just because it makes my room a bit prettier, but because it is soo much easier than having to go through drawers & such to pick out what you want to wear for the day.  It goes with my room as well, so yeah. :)

How do you ladies store your jewelry?  Any tips would be much appreciated. <3

  9. Aw your storage looks lovely! I desperately need to sort out my storage system now that I have twice as many products as I usually do (from moving my Uni things back home)! I have a sweet jewellery wardrobe and little trinket box for my jewellery atm (: xx

  10. your storage is adorable. i don't bother keeping my room at home very neat or organized and since i'll be moving up to school in a few months i've been watching lots of room tours looking at storage ideas for makeup and jewlery. i think that the little dish is a great thing for holding rings, i love the vintage and dainty look of it!

  13. See I'm the opposite, I like to hide things away but still haven't found a good solution that doesn't cause everything to mix together! :) xxx
