I'm hoping that everyone had a wonderful weekend. As my to-do list right now is rather stacked, I just wanted to take note of my favorite weekend find.
I don't have too many rings. Mainly because I believe I have quite fat fingers - this conclusion made after noticing that my fingers tend to swell around rings, even after they're supposedly "sized". After a few hours, my attempt at either the refined elegance of Princess Diana-inspired or the ghetto fabulousness Lil' Wayne-inspired (some nights just call for one or the other) finger bling ends up looking like a summer sausage with a child's hair elastic around it.
However, despite this grotesque situation- I do have a few rings: Some which probably cost less than a dinner that I wear for fun when headed to a flouncy bar or club and then a few nice ones with actual diamonds that I received from my parents (both the nuclear & the grand type) and I have been trying to find a pretty place to store them.
I almost started cracking up when I started this quest for a ringholder. Why? Because, well - let me show you what the options mainly were.
Without going into too much graphic detail on my poor innocent blog - just looking at the ringholders available made me want to start saying "That's what she said!". I didn't like the glass surrounding but I also didn't appreciate the highly phallic symbol protruding from the middle. Nuff said - ick.
So this weekend I was so excited to find this:
And where to find neat jewelery holders like the one I purchased? Boutiques, boutiques, boutiques!!!
And with that said, I must go on with my busy morning. I did search hand ringholders though and found a few other ones - though pretty tacky and I probably wouldn't use, were fun to look at and reminded me of Disney characters- mainly Ursula and Cruella Deville (respectfully).

Fab idea to use a hand towel rack for necklaces! :)

Ha ha (i'm giggling)! I love your description of your fingers!!!
Have a great day :-)
Thanks for coming to my tea party!
I used to have so many of those crystal ring holders when I was little! so funny to remember!
Very cute. Was that in there when I was in there yesterday? I didn't notice it. Looks cute!
that's a great idea for necklaces and bracelets!
and your ring holder/ hand thing looks great!
the other ones are giving me a creepy feeling like the ones that are about to come to life.
i have chubby fingers too! more like chubby and wrinkly knuckles. it's HORRID! but i do enjoy rings and will not fear them despite the lack in lean fingers.
having said that, i think you're new "hand" is awesome. looks fabulous next to your jewelry display!
You ring holder looks special.I just bought one similar one for present...actually I am gonna pack it tomorrow in to my suitcase....gonna bring it to Norway.
I hope the one who gonna get it,not gonna see this comment..hihi
I love rings,but since Sean born ,I don't wear them so much.
Have a nice Monday evening....there it's only evening here it's midnight :)
OK, I think I just peed in my pants a little! TOO funny about the phallic symbol! I've always thought the same thing - ick! LOVING the towel holder as a necklace rack! TOTALLY stealing that idea! Found your blog from 504 Main - congrats on the award!
I never thought about what a ring holder really looked like until I saw it on your blog....Thanks...I will never be able to look at one again without a little (evil) chuckle. I love your idea of using a towel holder for the necklaces...very clever!

lol I SO still own one of those crystal ring holders. I'm pretty sure it was my mother's and her mother's and so on. very outdated, agreed! lol
but... i think I may be the only poster on here to admit that I'm REALLY creeped out by adorning a mannequin hand in my bedroom lol... for some reason, it gives me this eerie feeling!!! plus, my hubby would never approve. he already kicked out my more matronly/old fashioned decor. we're blah & modern now! poo on that
