Repurposing

I love to find great finds at yard sales. Sometimes I buy something I'm not sure what I'll do with. I found a wooden tie rack, that is actually a narrow shelf with 19 pegs in two rows underneath. It's about 2' long and the shelf is about 3" deep with the pegs about 2 1/4" long. Without a picture it is hard for you to 'see' it, but it has great potential as something else. I have been rethinking it's purpose in this life and see it as a plaque rack, a johnny jump-up holder, a key rack, or perhaps a Christmas stocking hanging place. It has a couple of draw backs in some of my ideas. 1. The pegs are rather close together. 2. They are a little spindly and unable to bare great weights. Thus the keys and johnny jump-ups (my preference) would work well. 3. I don't have that many johnny jump-ups (so do I need to rapidly expand that collection to justify it's usage?) or do I need to just settle for a key rack? OR do you have a wonderful alternate idea that would solve me pondering further. It really is a great find and a lovely piece of woodworking. I just wish you could see it.
