Ramone Peddles Jewelry

My boyfriend and I recently adopted two cats. They are 5 month old brothers, the grey one is Pedro and the orange one is Ramone. We didn't name them but we liked the uniqueness of their names. Apparently, whoever named them was on a Mexican kick. A friend of mine has been making up stories about them based on them being Mexican. They have a taco stand on the beach, peddle jewelry and various other things.

Ramone has made it clear that he does have a thing for jewelry. He has knocked over my earrings on my vanity several times. This weekend I decided I needed to come up with a new way to store my earrings so that Ramone can't get at them. I can't really put them in my jewelry box as I have a lot of chandelier earring or dangling earrings and they will just become a tangled mess. I had a picture in my head of a series of small wires running horizontal on my wall that the earrings could hook over. But then the more I thought about that it seemed impractical and like it would put a lot of holes in my wall! Then I thought about getting some nice pictures frames and putting mesh or a fine chicken wire in them. I looked in a few stores for frames I like but the ones I liked were really expensive. I ended up at store on 4th called Kitchen Corner, this store is a bit scary as stuff is piled high and you can barely fit down the isles. But you occasionally come a way with a great find so it is worth the hazard. This time was one of those times! I found some decorative embroidery hoops with a hook for hanging on top. I decided instead of buying chicken wire to use the leftover screen mesh we had from making screens for our windows.

I think it worked out pretty well! I am just waiting for Ramone to figure out how to climb the wall now!
