It Holds Jewelry!

Monday, January 11th, 2010

This gift arrived via carrier Johnny. It was from my sister and bro in law and was carefully padded and wrapped in newspaper. I opened it on Christmas morning, and stared in puzzlement at the odd-looking frame. It had pegs along 3 sides and notches on the cross boards. What was it? Some type of loom to make big potholders? Something to do with growing tomatoes? I knew my brother in law had made it; it was beautifully crafted. About 1/2 hour later UltraDad figured it out. It was for jewelry! Necklaces and bracelets on the pegs, earrings in the notches! Absolutely ingenious!
As you can see, besides holding jewelry, it is a work of art!

UltraGirl, notice the ‘Sushi’ cell phone charms you got me: both the shrimp, which I did NOT like, and the Nori Roll, which I DID like!

    Love the art!! I’m surprised to see you’ve got so many earrings (I don’t have pierced ears you know)!

    Thanks! Yes, I have accumulated a lot of earrings over the years. Lately, I can’t wear the heavy ones; they give me a headache. Many of the dangly ones were handmade by Aunt Debi or my great niece Dakota.

    If memory serves UM only has two pierced ears, but she has as much earwear as you have face lotion.

    Looks like a really nice jewelry rack, it appears John has outdone himself.

    I bet your grandbaby Linc would have a BLAST playing with that. I know my kids would.
