open drawer policy

What a great idea! This is what ill be doing when I next have a spare weekend.

Let your hodgepodge of china collect something besides dust. Orphaned teacups & saucers are prefect vessels for sorting jewellery, & when arranged in a velvet lined drawer, they give you an easy-to-scan birds-eye view of your bijoux. To set it up, measure the height of the drawer's side (not the front), then gather dishware thats slightly shorter. Line the drawer with velvet or felt to prevent rattling & sliding, then position the porcelain. Hook drop earrings on rims of cups, nestle necklaces within them, & stash chunkier beads & bangles on individual saucers.
