Earring$
Before you toss the earrings aside you may want to check their value. Old costume jewery is can be worth more than you think. When a former neighbor of our family went into a nursing home, her nephew held an auction, including tables full of jewelry. My sister and I spotted a simple pin that was a thin red bar with 4 small baubbles hanging from it. We started bidding low, but when it kept going up, we had to stop - it went for over $400! If the earrings are not valuable but you would like to keep them, you could make them into pins, use with ribbon on presents, put in a shadow box with pictues of grandmother and aunt. If you have a local theater, you could donate them for costume jewelry.
