I stopped at the thrift store on the way home from work last night and bought some of the ugliest earrings you have seen since the eighties. What fashion sense the original owners had.
I removed all the metal earring hooks and findings and added some orphaned marble chess pieces - a previous thrift shop find.
And voila!! Old earrings + old chess pieces + a little glue = mini side tables!
These tables actually look better in person, but you get the idea.
I know the pieces sitting on the tables are really ugly, but hey, they won't look too bad sitting on a dollhouse shelf and the dollhouse people should just be happy to have any kind of decor at all. Humph.
Actually I love the black and white pointy blob. It looks soooo avante guard arty. It seems to be made out of squeezed out tear-drop shaped pieces of plastic caulking.
I don't know why anyone would wear this as an earring, but I thought it would make great dollhouse art.
The little zebra is the right scale so I had to have that set, but the wooden cone dolls are rather scary. Maybe they can go in a toy shop or a swedish modern house. Again I can't see why one would put them next to one's face and go out in public. But maybe that's just me.
The orange tables are plastic and marked Denmark on the back. I had to glue the bases off to the side because that's where the indent for the earring back was. I decided that that was what the table designer had intended so the tables would be sooo trendy and modern.
Hugs,
Susan
