I understand, however if your Grandmother bought it and didn't make it her self you shouldn't feel bad.

I should make a big tree shaped fabric tree and pin all my jewelry to it. I will post if I do this.

And in the meantime, it has a nostalgic beauty all it's own.

It would be fun to try the concept in a smaller scale with some silver, white and creams in the vintage look of today as in shabby cottage. TTMF.
