Re-Purposed Window Frame Earring & Necklace Holder

September 27, 2015
My youngest daughter found a jewelry holder on Etsy that she wanted to order and emailed me the photo.  I told her WE could make one just like it, or maybe even better.  I had an old window frame from a garage sale that I had purchased for 50 cents.  The size was great. My daughter gave the frame a couple of coats of Fusion Mineral Paint in Casement .

I picked up a vintage safety vegetable grater that was still in the package at a garage sale on Saturday for 50 cents. This became an easy photo display piece.  This is a copy of an original photo of my Grandma and her sisters.  My Grandma is little girl seated in front.
