My new earrings organizer

One of the things I can never satisfactorily have organized is my collection of earrings. They always seem to end up in a miserable heap no matter if I keep them in a purse, in a box, or in a drawer. And like many others, I seem to wear the same earrings and occasionally will chance upon a pair I had long forgotten I have had. Additionally, sometimes I'd find some of them with a stone missing, a pearl gone or a delicate part broken. In the last week I decided to search online for earring organizers. Nothing I found was impressive. I also found several DIY videos on youtube. Many were creative and economical - I saw a kitchen curtain hung on a clothes hanger, a plastic canvas (with holes for cross stitches), etc - on which the earrings could be set up. But though they looked neat and nifty, retrieving earrings from them on a day to day basis looked inconvenient.
   Yesterday, while browsing through the office supplies section of an electronics store, I found a possible storage for my earrings in the most improbable of things. A document holder! It's of the same wire mesh kind that most office supplies - pencil holders, file trays etc are. Absolutely no effort needed. Just plug and play!

This can sit on the vanity, a dresser or chest. It doesn't occupy a whole lot of room. The base is stable enough and won't topple easily. The space in between the 2 arms makes it easy to remove earrings with clasps or backings. I found that if you hang such earrings( with clasps) lower and hang the ones with just the bent metal insert higher up, it makes for easy putting on and taking off.  And yeah, it cost me $5.99! and took me 5 minutes to put them up!
