A. When it's used to display necklaces. Well, maybe not.
I bought this pretty towel bar at an antique shop in Sonora a couple of months ago thinking I'd use it to display my flat back marble necklaces. Unfortunately it's a little too short for the job and I'm not about to shorten all these necklaces.

The 7 pack of clips was purchased at OSH (Orchard Supply Hardware) for just a few dollars.

I didn't need to bend the hook because the end of the towel bar screwed off and the hook slipped right on. Hmm, this guy isn't bad looking, too bad I can't claim him as a relative.
