hold the tea but add some jewelry

Now, I should be promoting the stylish and savvy jewelry mirrors we make at a.i. paper design and sell at catching fireflies. However, when I stumbled across this eye-catching article in Blueprint Magazine, I immediately wanted to start collecting cute cups and saucers for my dresser drawer.

Here’s their advice on how to create your very own jewelry drawer.

Open Drawer Policy
Let your hodgepodge of china collect something besides dust (left): Orphaned teacups and saucers are perfect vessels for sorting jewelry, and, when arranged in a velvet-lined drawer, they give you an easy-to-scan bird’s-eye view of your bijoux. To set it up, measure the height of the drawer’s side (not the front), then gather dishware that’s slightly shorter. Line the drawer with velvet or felt to prevent rattling and sliding, then position the porcelain. Hook drop earrings on rims of cups, nestle necklaces within them, and stash chunkier beads and bangles on individual saucers.
