Plain and Adorned
This week, Tink wants us to give our pictorial impressions "plain" and "adorned" for the Weekly Word Challenge.
Well, when Chatty first thinks of "adorned", she thinks jewelry!
So...
This may not look like much - it's very plain, after all - but her friend N'awlins Nurse showed her how to stretch lace over a picture frame, like this:
Pretty, but - as previously mentioned - PLAIN.
However, ADORN it with your dangling earrings, and suddenly, it is not only pretty, but useful:
Chatty has found that she wears her dangly earring much more frequently now that they are now out on display, looking pretty - and very easy to grab (when before they were tangled up in her jewelry box and often not worth the effort of untangling). Chatty had seen various devices for displaying post-type earrings - stuck through cloth in embroidery hoops, stuck through small metal screens, etc. - but found this simple lace treatment to be very effective for drop earrings. So, thanks, N'awlins Nurse!
Now, as anyone who knows her will tell you, Chatty loves her snacks - especially crunchy ones.
She is particularly fond of little bites offered by Crum Creek , some of which are PLAIN:
and some of which are adorned with all sorts of lovely "ups and extras" like garlic, poppy seeds, onion bits and sesame seeds:
Chatty could find more examples for plain and adorned, but she has to get busy writing brief biographies of George Reeves and Jimmy Stewart for her friend's site. Chatty has already written the bios for Rudolph Valentino and Jayne Mansfield there. If you want to check them out, just go to the site and click on their names...or any others that you might find interesting at this fascinating site!

I love the lace idea. I might have to duplicate that. I have so many earrings and they're all just tangled up together in my jewelry box. Such a waste of easy art too! I also love your candy cane earrings. VERY cute.

I love your dangly earrings, especially the carved ones and the fleur-de-lis! I need to make a small frame for my soon-to-buy nose rings! LOL
Great ideas for today ~ thanks so much for visiting my blog too!
Have a great Tuesday

The idea of "plain" and "adorned" is need of time. Its not only looks pretty, but useful too.Its easy way to hang earring used frequently.
