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 absolutely love the POLKA DOTS!!! Sign me up!!!
What a great creation!!! And the black & white animal print TOTALLY intrigues me, because the new costumes for my women’s chorus are ZEBRA PRINT!!! (You can see a picture of them on my blog post about Calgary!) And we have special jewelry we have to take on our trips for performances and such!!! This would be a god-send!!! Enter me PLEASE!!!
The pink and brown paisley is very cute. :-)

Adorable Pink and Brown Paisley – Everything looks better in pink. “It’s my signature color” to quote an awesome chick flick.
Today is my birthday, so maybe I’ll be extra lucky this time. I love the polka dot one like yours the very best. Give me dots on just about anything except capri pants, and I’m good. Here’s to a lucky birthday present for me : )
I think I am the first one to pick “colorful squares”. What a great idea.
Smiles!

Pink and brown paisley is paisley perfection.
And the Funky Floral is a close second.
Fabulous idea and way to go for her patenting the thing!
Empowerment.
Boomama, I love the wave!

Well,now you girls really must tote some jewlery around with you on trips! That is about the cutest jewelry bag I’ve ever seen & I do covet the black/white animal print if I was to be so lucky to win one. That thing will hold more than enough jewelry for months away from home!
Cute, cute!
Rhoda
Funky floral rocks!
Maybe the miraculous number generator will pick me again-what are the odds? And I’m not going to give this puppy away (although it brought much joy to my heart to be able to give away vicariously the Waller CD!) So, I’m thinkin’ that stinkin’ “Adorable Pink and Brown Paisley” will suit me just fine, thankyouverymuch! :)
Pink and Brown Paisley, unless she’s got something that’s got blues or turquoises. Not that I wouldn’t be absolutely grateful and all over myself for getting such a cool thing in any pattern.
Cool idea, and thank you for promoting it so we all have a chance to have one!

The colorful squares print is my favorite.
LOVE the pink and brown paisley- TOO CUTE!!
What a great idea! I have a business trip coming up in Feb. and this would be perfect. Love the pink and brown paisley.
I love the pink and brown paisley. What a great idea and what a smart girl to get a patent.
Polka dots or pink and brown paisley are my favorites. Of course, I’d probably buy one even if it only came in a hideous color, just because of the actual USEFULNESS of the product! Tell Janie we say thanks!!!
Brown and creme animal all the way…
Just got back from a va-cay yesterday and my earlobe cannot hold the mangled mess that is now my jewelry.
I love the waves…what a clever girl!
Genius!
I love the pink and brown paisley. This is an excellent gift idea, too!
I like the pink paisley. And I know it would be almost criminal to win two drawings in a row, but these are cute enough that I’m willing to take the chance!
Funky, funky floral! Fantabulous idea. Love it.
What a genius Miss Janie is! !I mean honestly, how brilliant and upstarty of her to go and make this cute little thing to share with all the rest of us who have the very same problem! Too cool!
I just can’t se myself not packing the browna nd pink paisely the next time I travel off somewhere, whether I win one or not! Can’t wait for the ordering info!
Christine
Adorable Pink and Brown Paisley is my favorite. What a great idea!!
I’m gonna have to go with the Funky Floral as my favorite, but they are all Sasstastic! What an awesome idea! Thanks for the chance to win one!
The Pink and Brown Paisley – all the way! Man I hope I win this – it would change my life!
