Lonely earrings

I already had a lonely socks drawer.
I discovered that
my lonely earrings collection is growing too.
Some of my favorite earrings are no longer.
At the moment I wear these.

What do you do with your lonely earrings?
Or am I the only one?

Hope your week is off to a great start !

  4. Ik heb eigenlijk ook heel weinig oorbellen. Ik heb een lonely one, en een paar draag ik.

    Maar die daar hangen zijn wel erg leuk.
    fijne week, lia

  9. Sadly, I do too. How it happens, I just do not know. It is usually my favorite one that ends up losing its mate.

    The pair in the photo are lovely!

  11. Wat een schattige oorbellen Saskia. Helaas kan ik geen oorbellen verdragen, maar al mijn oorbellen uit de tijd dat het nog wel ging heb ik nog steeds. en echt niet allemaal compleet meer, maar ik kan gewoon niets weg doen.
    De bloemenpoppetjes van je vorige post zijn zo ontzettend leuk. Kunnen zo in een Disney film.
    FIjne week, liefs Ester

  13. Alleenstaande sokken op zoek naar hun partner heb ik genoeg en nog altijd geen idee waar nummer 2 zich elke keer verstopt, maar only-the-lonely oorbellen heb ik niet ... verlies er zelden eentje. Die van jou zijn trouwens prachtig!

    Fijne week,
    Groetjes,

    Some others have suggested similar. You could pull them apart and use the pieces to create something else. I worked in a jelwellery store and lots of people would bring odd items or unused pieces and we would suggest the gold or silver get melted down to creaet something else or use the stones in a hammerset bangle or in a necklace. Necklace is a nice idea because then you get to carry the memories everyday.

  20. Oh honey, I have so many "lonely earrings". I usually hand them over to my little niece for play time. Those are sweet little earrings btw.

  21. I love that you have a lonely sock drawer too. you could repurpose the earrings or give them away. I think I could probably spare a few pain also.
    Have a great week.

  24. Hi Saskia!
    First ... I love those earrings! very very pretty!

    For my socks... I bought some of those zipper laundry mesh bags... and I keep my socks in there so that when I wash them, they don't disappear to wherever those socks go! It does help a little...but takes discipline for me to do it!
    My earrings... sometimes it's just sad...and I keep the one for a long time...just to remember and hope, as Koralee does, for the lost one to be discovered
    :o)

    Hope you are having a wonderful week dear ♥
    love, Maria

    Saskia...that's a really pretty pair!

    I use orphan earrings for embellies on my cards...they make beautiful centers for flowers or pinned to a bow...if you take a look at the cards I have on my current post you will see earrings on both :D
