A couple of months ago, I found two vintage letterpress trays at Goodwill. I snatched them both up for under $20. Since then, I've been trying to figure out what I was going to do with them. I've seen great ideas: a jewelry organizer, another to display collections of thimbles or trinkets, wall art, etc.
Well, I already have a great way to organize my jewelry, and I don't have an extraordinary number of thimbles. So, I kept thinking, trying to figure out how I could use them. One day, I saw a pinterest project (pssst .... I'm a little addicted) that I really liked, but it was going to end up being too much work (strike one). Plus, I'd have to buy supplies, one of which looked like it was going to be a pain to obtain (strikes two and three). So, the pinterest idea was out as an option, but I still wanted to do something like it. That's when it dawned on me that using one of these might work. It wouldn't cost me anthing extra, and it would be much easier to do! Home run for me. :)
This was a super fun project, and I even had volunteers that wanted to help me. I love the way it turned out, and I can't wait to show you what I did with it on {drumroll, please} ... Monday! Aren't you excited?
Any favorite pinterest projects? Successful ones? Not so successful? Ideas you've built on to make it your own? Please share! We'd love to hear about others that are actually doing projects they've pinned. I, for one, will never get around to doing most of the things I've put on my boards, but a girl can dream, right?
Until next time!

P.S. My baseball references throughout are NOT a clue to my finished project. It just happened as I was writing. Come back on Monday to see the reveal. I know the suspense is killing you ...
