My life is an Organized Mess

IMG_2786 IMG_2789 IMG_2790 IMG_2791

Hey guys! Its barely 9am right now and I couldn't really sleep in (even though I tried really hard to :P)…I started to organize my room and fell in love with the little trinkets and jewellery on my shelves all over again…I have to really go through it all as this is only one quarter of my collection (I have accumulated a lot of vintage jewellery, jewellery from grams and from friends). Storage becomes an issue, they get all tangled up…so I have to come up with creative ways to display it and do it in a way that I have easy access to it (because then I just forget what I have). P.s. If you look at the last picture…the handsome fellow in that picture frame was my grandfather when he was in the army…I guess you can see why I have such a fascination with James Dean..I always thought he resembled him! He really was a handsome fellow….he tells me stories about his younger days and I am ALWAYS eager to hear them…I still have a tape I made when I was younger that included me interviewing him and asking him bunches of questions…I keep it in a special box I have of family heirlooms and pictures of my great great grandparents….Maybe I will show you one day…

Well I am off as I can hear mama calling me in the background and asking me why I'm not dressed for breakfast yet! haha…….I'm off to Tim Horton's for some coffee

Also thank you to all my readers who commented on yesterdays post! I am really lucky to have gotten to know a little bit about all of you! You guys are the sweetest and I really appreciated each and every comment that you left me! I responded to most of the comments =)

I will be back later on hopefully with an outfit post (maybe the extensions tutorial if I have time….it is in the works :P) for you guys! This was just a little “good morning” post :P
