Old Wooden Boxes and Filigree Earrings

Something about these handmade things just makes them jump into my hands.  Here's a primitive found at a church sale for $5. I took no time cleaning it up and putting some of my non silver necklaces and pendants inside.

And the curse of the blue earrings continues!  These blue filigree earrings were nearly perfect for me. Nearly.

The only thing throwing me off is the screwback. A little surgery was needed. I removed the bulb to place it with a hook post.  This mostly preserves it's vintage look, while giving me that lobe comfort I need.
