Baby dish becomes jewelry dish

I don't have a jewelry box but I do have antique dishes.  I have found they are great to quickly toss your jewelry in.  I love how they look sitting around a farmhouse too.


Currently I'm using my grandfather's baby dish.  It's a chippy shallow bowl with a large crack in it.  Five adorable puppies sit outside their house ~ for dinner, no doubt.


I love how the picture is worn off from years of use by a little boy.  Truly, it is aged to perfection.
I'm thankful to possess it as I drop my earrings in it everyday.

  2. Good Morning Kim!
    This is such a nice idea...I love using things that have meaning to me and happy memories. What great way to remember your Grandfather every day.
    I hope you're having a sunnier day down there in Oklahoma than we are in our part of Kansas. I won't complain though as a little further north of us they're getting snow! Have a great day...

  3. It is so fun to look at something that is a treasure from our family, we just feel the love of that piece. I just smile as I pick up something from my grandmother and feel her love in it. Thanks for sharing. Florence

    I feel I've found a kindred farm family! My hubby is a lifelong falconer too so you hooked me. Love your family verse (and wanna copy it)!
    hugs,

  7. Wonderful idea! I have used some of my mothers old collection of tea cups with their saucers for years for jewelery ! Very special!
