If you wear earrings or have a Princess Daughter who does
then this idea may work for you. Earring trees are unstable
and just don't hold many pairs. Plus I have found that the
earrings are difficult to put off and on.

What works for us is to use one of those hardware organizers
that men use to sort their different size nails, screws, bolts
etc. They have little drawers that pull in and out.
The one Princess Daughter uses has 50 compartments.
She also uses the little drawers for rings, necklaces, lip gloss
and knick-knacks. This is nice because each piece of jewelry
can have its own place and doesn't get all tangled with the
others as they do in her jewelry boxes.

It is not as pretty as a jewelry box, but you can put it under
the bathroom sink if you want. This has helped us a lot in
keeping Princess Daughter's jewelry collection organized.

Whoa! Fifty compartments! I've seen the ones with just a few but maybe I need to pay the hardware store a visit. Thanks for the tip!
