Things on my desk #6: Cute little mugs of rings
I’d like to say that I keep my jewelery meticulously organized and safe in a box designed for that express purpose. I’d also like a billion dollars.

A couple of years ago (perhaps more than a couple) I picked up these cute little mugs at Pennsic. They are adorable but not the most useful in day-to-day drinking endeavors. (I have a third mug approximately this size that lives on my belt when I am off being a medieval Norse chick. When people insist on having you try something and you’re not sure about it but wish to be polite, having a tiny little mug comes in handy!) So, now that this paragraph has been taken over by parenthetical commentary, I say we cut it loose and move on…

These mugs live on my desk to contain my rings. I tend to fidget with rings while I’m working so my rings used to end up everywhere on my desk rather than back on my fingers. Now they live in the little mugs. It sounds silly, but this practice has cut down significantly on the cases of, “Where did I leave that ring?” since the state of my desk is not always conducive to finding little things quickly.
