A couple of years ago my sister-in-law Janie went out of town for a fun girls’ trip, and she packed all manner of cute earrings and bracelets and whatnot so that she would have lots of accessory options when she arrived at her destination.
As a chronic overpacker, I know a little bit about the need for many accessory options.
But what Janie wasn’t expecting was the fact that once she arrived at her hotel, her jewelry was a tangled mess. All of her longer earrings had gotten completely twisted and knotted during the flight, and she spent a solid hour trying to undo the damage.
So when she got back home a couple of days later, she sat down and decided she’d solve her jumbled jewelry problem.
For the last two years she has worked on a couple of different prototypes, and when she finally hit on the very best idea, she met with a patent attorney (OH YES MA’AM – SHE HAS PATENTED THIS PUPPY AND EVERYTHING), found a manufacturer, and started the distribution process.
And now she’s sharing her great new product – which has been selling like hotcakes at Christmas markets – with you.
Internets, meet The JJ.
(Here’s a secret – SHHHHH – “JJ” stands for “Janie’s Jewels.”)
(Isn’t that adorable?)
So I guess what I’m trying to say is that size-wise it’s terribly convenient.
You could literally take 20 pairs of earrings on a 3-day trip.
Quite frankly I don’t know how much more a girl could ask for.
I also love that The JJ can stand up on a dresser or a nightstand or a bathroom counter – because it’s just so much easier to see your jewelry options.
It’s very important to be able to see your jewelry options, girls.
ISN’T IT THE CUTEST?
Janie’s working on getting a website up and running, but since it’s not quite ready yet, she sent me pictures of all the JJ fabric patterns. And if you’d like to win one of the NINE JJ’s Janie is giving away, here’s what you do:
1) Click here to see all the fun fabric options for The JJ.
2) Come back to this page and leave a comment telling me which pattern is your favorite.
3) THAT’S ALL!
I’ll leave comments on this post open until Saturday, November 17 – and then I’ll draw for nine winners.
And if you’d like to order one (or two! or nine!) for Christmas gifts, I’ll post all of the how-to information then.
Hooray for The JJ!
Y’all have fun!
funky floral is my favorite, I like bright eye catching patterns that won’t get lost in my bag. I hope I get it!
Adorable Pink and Brown Paisley! It’s, well, Adorable!!
Love the black and white animal print. This is such a great idea, I’ll have to keep it in mind for Christmas gifts.
Love the polka dots! I plan to send out this link to show the JJ.
Gotta say, I’m LOVING the “waves” pattern! And a cute little jewelry travel kit is exactly what I’d planned to get my sister for Christmas!
Love them all, but like Polka Dots the best :)
Adorable pink and brown paisley.
That’s a really great idea! For me, it’s a tie between the Colorful Squares & Polka Dots.
Pink and brown! Central Texas Fan Club members DO have birthdays, you know, and mine’s on Saturday. (sigh) BUT, since this is done RANDOMLY, I will continue to try. I do love you, dear sis, even if I NEVER win a thing on here or anywhere else on this Internet! Good day, sweetie! Thanks for the offer.
I can’t tell you how much I would love the pink and brown paisley JJ. It would totally match my pink and brown Women of Faith Contagious Joy tote bag! I’m crossing my fingers! Thanks!
OK, the funky floral is SOOOOO adorable! What a terrific idea! Good luck to her in getting these into stores, they will be a huge hit!
Polkadots. Definitely polkadots!
Gotta go woth the pink & brown paisley, but it was a tough call.
I love the pink and brown paisley!

Oooooo, that’s so fabulous! I have a little pink jewelry holder I take on vacations, but it’s not even close to being as fabulous as that!! I love the brown and cream animal print. But would also take the pink and brown paisley. Pick me, pick me, pick me!!!
I’d have to go with the pink and brown paisley! Very cute indeed!
I love both the polka dots and the funky floral, so I’d be happy with either one, Sophie!
What a great idea. ;-)
Hugs,
Diane
Pick me! Pick me! I NEED the Colorful Squares or any other one you want to send me!!!!!! Thanks, Janie, for not being afraid of running with your idea. Necessity really is the mother of invention.
LOVE the pink and brown paisley!!!
Oh. my. goodness. Now this is one I just can’t pass up. I can’t decide… the funky floral or the pink and brown paisley? Okay. The pink and brown.
Now, just wondering… is that all of YOUR jewelry in there, or is it Janies? Because there is some CUTE stuff in those pictures.
Adorable Pink and Brown Paisley, for me!! What a wonderful product. Loving it.
My ohhh My! The black and white animal print is a must! My daughter has done her college dorm with that pattern and it would make a great gift for her being away at school!
FUNKY FLORAL! I love this idea! If this is available before Christmas I would definitely buy one for my sister! Keep us posted, Sophie Dear.
Ohhhh, it’s a tie between the polka dots and the adorable pink and brown paisley. These things are SO CUTE! :)

Ok, I knew this was going to be AWESOME, but girl…Janie you have OUT DONE yourself! I love them all, but I think I have to lean towards the Pink and Brown Paisley. It is so cute, and if it gets anywhere near my make-up bag, it won’t come away trashed because the colors are all in there too! Love It, Love It! Way to go Janie! P
They are all just adorable! I love the Pink and Brown Paisley

The Adorable Pink and Brown Paisley is the one for me.
This little thing is ingenious!!!!!
Alesha
I love the Adorable Pink and Brown Paisley. All of the choices are great. Thanks for sharing this little gem.
SEAS
Polka Dots would have to be my fav, but I am really diggin all of them (great fabric selections SIL of the Boo Mamma).
Great Design!!!! Thanks for entering me :)
I love the pink and brown animal print.
Anything the girl touches is in my BAG!
What a Great Creation and I know in my BAG she will include the jewlry!!!!!??????
Cuz I love her taste.
Polka Dots or the Pink & Brown Paisley…I can’t decide! :) I would be OH-SO-HAPPY with either!!
A “Funky Floral” for me, please.
Well Miss Boomama….by the time i left the ADORABLE JJ designs and sort of quickly glanced at the comments….i totally forgot which one i liked. Really liked them all, but anything of animal print or the pink/brown combo would be just fine by me.
They are all great, but I LOVE the pink and brown paisley!
Polka dots make me so happy! But golly I love the funky floral too! What is a girl to do? LOVE THEM BOTH!!!!!!!!
Love the polka dots!
Thanks!
LoveLoveLove the pink and brown paisley!!
pink and brown paisley…that’s my choice.
I love them all but my favorite is the pink & brown paisley!
I am all about the pink giraffe – at one point in my life – I might gone the route of something safe like paisley or polka dots – but not now – I’m almost 60 and figure I need to LIVE – so pink giraffe might be my next tattoo – if I were to get a tattoo (which is pretty unlikely unless my mental state changes dramatically – like if I won a cool jewelry carrier from JJ).
This is exactly what my daughter needs. She is a huge jewelry wearer and travels to and from work with jewelry, ’cause she never knows if she feel like changing it all up!!! And if I may be so bold as to brag on her a bit, she has great taste in jewels and looks great!!! As her work requires that she wear only black, white or gray the black and white animal print would be just the ticket! If I don’t win, I will definitely be placing an order!!
I am the mother of the genius, and I’ve had one of the originals, and it has saved my life,being the jewelry junkie that I am. Those are my jewels shown on the jj, and are going for a small fee: wink, wink! To the highest bidder!!! Soph, come see us!!!!!! Love ya, Jane
I LOVE IT! My favorite is the pink and brown paisley– and I can honestly say, that one is probably going to be a best-seller! :)
I must be a square but I love the SQUARES!
OH MY…The Polka Dots JJ is calling my name!!! I just love polka dots!!! Thanks for offering such a great giveaway.
I love them all! It’s hard to decide on a favorite, but I guess it would be the black and white animal print. Oh, I do hope I win. If I don’t, I might just have to buy one!
Wow, it is so hard to pick – they are all adorable! I guess I would have to go with the brown and pink paisley too! Even if I don’t win, I HAVE to have one of these so I’ll be looking for ordering information!
Love the funky floral! What a cool idea! Makes me want to take a trip so I can take some jewelry along…
PINK AND BROWN ANIMAL PRINT…..I think I am the minority! Be sure to let us know whenthe website is up & running…these would be great Christmas gifts!
Sarah, TN
Love them all, favorite is the brown and pink paisley though. Thanks for the great offer!
I lerve me some polka dots.
PS – for those of us that don’t win (because I never win stuff, EVAR), where can we purchase the JJ? I need one of those!
since i already bought the pink giraffe, my next favorite is the funky floral. they are the cutest things!! i just wish you the very best of luck!!
julie
