Spring Cleaning!

I put the shop on holiday mode. Opening the shop was probably one of the silliest and most spontaneous (yes I realize it took months to talk me into it in the first place) things I've ever done. I may close things down, although then there'd be no chance of an outlet for all these pieces I have accumulated, both vintage pieces and my own.

My mother is coming tomorrow, so my usual college student pigsty needed a good clean-up. In part of this, I finally put up my corkboard displays to hang up the jewelry and rosettes.




I have far too much of this junk in my apartment, and even more vintage pieces I have inherited. They're the silly things that keep me out of trouble when my mind feels like it's going to explode or when I'm missing my fiance so much that I need a distraction. I can then sit down and focus for a couple of hours and nothing gets into my mind. Unfortunately, this has resulted in my huge collection, of which these couple of pictures show hardly a fraction.
