Mouse's jewelry box crisis continues. I like the idea of this old dentist's case, but it was $250 (at that damn Georgia flea market again, which I'm lucky I left without bartering my shoes for something). Also, putting your earrings where the tooth-scraping thing sat? Little bit ew.

Then, I was thinking: camp-out room, right? Maybe a tackle box, because a tackle box is about camping and has lots and lots of little compartments, and the metal ones are cute and sometimes colorful (like this or this or this). Also, some of them have character. I think the compartments could be lined with cloth.

How do you buy an old metal tackle box that doesn't reek of fishies? Thoughts?

Hooray! I like that first one, though not sure what to tell you about the fishies. I'd scrub it down with vinegar or baking soda.

Buy one from Brokeback Mountain or the equivalent.

Oooh. I love the old dentist's case, but $250 is pretty steep. Tackle boxes are genius and I bet they don't stink too much. Right? I mean, they aren't meant for storing actual fish.

A good clean will surely do the trick and also maybe you could line the drawers/bottoms with pretty (hygienic) paper?

Hmmm, great idea - I love it!

good call with the tackle box as a jewelry box. all my little pretties have been wanting for a new home for a long while, but I couldn't find anything that wasn't hideous!
