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!

I should have known we had such similar taste… that is why I love you. You are my fake BFF!
Definitely polka dots, then funky flowers, then pink and brown paisley. I am missing the gene that likes the animal prints, but I guess there are people out there who like them as much I do my dots.
