Vintage Chafing Dish Legs: Earring Holders!
Hello again! Hey, here's a neato idea for storing earrings.
At practically every thrift store and yard sale, I come upon these lonely chafing dish legs. The poor things have lost their chafing dishes and nobody loves them.
But they're so beautiful! Vintage silverplate, gorgeous lines, myriad styles. I can't resist buying them. One of my favorite uses: just add earrings.
For more vavoom, I like to fill the empty center with a vase or live plant. Just place it on that little platform where the heat source would go.
Another great option: place a little dish in the center, for storing bracelets-n-stuff.
Aren't they delightful, these lovely, lonely legs? I love them mucho. I will continue to buy them and make them feel useful.
you must have the BEST flea markets and garage sales around. I never see cool things like that especially for a bargain. but i will keep my eyes open in future ,maybe i just haven't been really looking .
They are truly delighful and kind of chandelier-ish!
Aren't you clever. I love the idea of using it for earrings, and the vase idea is even more clever. I never pass them up either.
Brilliant idea - really - I love it...wish I had more surface area in my home!!
That's a great way to display your jewerly at a fair too. Not only don't you NOT have to spend heaps on displays but you get to have a unique one too! Great share!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing... I will now be on the lookout for one!
This is genius. Holy cats!
