Just a quick tip today. I read somewhere (probably Real Simple) that upright paper towel holders make great catch-alls for summer’s bangles. Turns out that tall, narrow silver candlesticks you might happen to have hanging around your abode work just as well.

Now the question is–to polish or leave the tarnish? (Really, what is my fascination with that whole look of neglect thing? I can’t possibly be channeling Big Edie and/or Little Edie if I haven’t seen even one of the versions of Grey Gardens, can I?)

    Great tip! Much prettier than a paper towel holder. Is that dear Audrey in the background?

      Gracias Miss Meaghan. That’s a little bit of Miss Frida Kahlo peeking out from her perch on my postcard holder turned earring catcher.
