It's been a while since I have posted here. This is a quick life update. Things have been pretty crazy with one daughter that got married 2 weeks ago, my other daughter expecting my first grandchild and some surgery and recovery thrown in the mix. I still have to finish writing about "The Project" that we started some time ago and I have a couple more things to do before the room is finally done, but I will get there!
I have been looking for ways to store my costume jewelry so that it is on display to make it easy to find something to go with what I am wearing.
I found this neat idea when I was searching online and that is to use teacups. I have a collection of teacups that look so pretty in my china cabinet. I even have one that was passed down to me from my mother that once belonged to my great-grandmother. I also have some teacups that are now cracked. They are so pretty that I haven't thrown them out, but they are no longer useful for drinking tea out of.
Instead, you can use them to store and display jewelry. You could have them sitting out on your dresser or bathroom counter or put them in a drawer so that every time you open the drawer you see something pretty. Earring with hooks can be hung on the cup and other types of earrings can go inside the cup. You can put necklaces, bracelets and pins in the saucers.
You could also put the saucers under a potted plant like I have with this air cleaning Pathos that I started from a cutting.
Green Highlights
- reuse cracked teacups
- reducing waste
Have you found another use for cracked teacups?
