I used to store my earrings in a very disorganized fashion. I would take my earrings out at the end of the day and leave them wherever I happened to be standing or sitting. I have lost a lot of earrings in my day. But that won’t be a problem any longer, thanks to this cute new tray I found at Blossom & Bloom Thrift Store in Leesburg. I bought it a few weeks ago when I was home in Virginia, but didn’t begin putting it to use until now (hence the delayed post). And I have grand plans to never lose a pair of earrings again!
Funny story about buying this tray: The price tag read $1.50, but I was determined to have it and to use it for a blog post. I asked the owner of the store if she’d take a dollar for it — I’ve found the asking strategy to work in most shops like that. Unfortunately, she declined my offer — she had only recently put the tray out for sale, so she wanted to wait and get full price for it. She questioned my reason for asking — did I only have one dollar with me? I couldn’t lie, since I knew full well I had multiple bills in my wallet. At this point, my sister/shopping companion was getting embarrassed about the conversation, so she pulled out two quarters from her coin purse and the purchase was made. I guess that is cheating a little bit. But I really did only contribute $1 to the purchase.
