... ONE thing leads to ANOTHER!

At the beginning of the week I had just.one.last trace of The Christmas decor to put away... Our 1/2 Half mannequin "Miss Kit Katt" was still adorned in my collection of Holiday brooches!  Time for a new 'outfit' for her, so off I went to my "pin drawer"...

Yes.

I know.

I know.

but it is what it IS. 

BUT!

I adore them all, 

and I DO wear them,

and they Actually ARE Organized! 

... Holiday in one corner

...FELINES together

...SW themes

...FISH/NAUTICAL

...Stylized METALS

...BLING!

and ENAMELS!
YES!  We need a little color ~ these shall be her next 'outfit'!!

I only had about 43 of them... (Oh, and then there is the one I wear everyday on my Winter Coat... and the one on my Bag...) YOU get the idea!
Anyway, there weren't enough to give her a COMPLETE outfit, so I gathered up my 'pin' sweater clips and bedazzled the bottom.

~And then, while I was gathering the Sweater Clips, I realized that I had numerous ones that were waiting to be added to our displays!
~Like my 'pin drawer', the sweater clips are arranged on their respective birdcages / valances by "category" (OCD? Anal?)
~While trying to incorporate the 'newbies' I decided that current space just.wasn't.sufficient!
~Off to the attic storage to dig out ANOTHER birdcage & stand!! (because EVERYONE keeps an extra cage or 2 for 'someday' - HA!HA!)

Cage #3 is now the home to all 'souvenir' / beachy sweaterclips!

Of course, while relocating, I decided the cages ALL needed a Good Cleaning ~ so OFF came ALL of the clips!
Dusted.
Sorted for duplicates...

Re-arranged.
Now, all HAPPILY restored to some sense of logic.

 NO sweater clip was safe from my scrutiny!

Valance of BLING

Valance of 'GOLD'

 Even a couple of new additions to the ON ORIGINAL CARD board!!

If you have read this post to the end - you deserve a PRIZE!!  What is your guess on the TOTAL NUMBER of NON-DUPLICATE Sweater Clips-Guards currently residing in our house??  The 'closest to the clip' guess will receive One of our DUPLICATES (now, I KNOW you are excited about that - Ha!Ha!).  Winner will be announced Monday Morning (1-12-15)!

  (~OR~ if you just can't wait, we'll be listing SOME of the dup's in our ETSY store!!)

CLIP ON YOUR SWEATERS and STAY WARM!!
