I love to have all of my most treasured possessions on display, for me to see and admire.
What would be the point in having them all hidden away?
My tin obsession has got out of hand, but that doesn’t seem to matter.
I could find a use for practically anything if I thought it was cute, most of my possessions are second-hand and usually have a story behind them.
Remember this quirky tea pot? Well much to the Mr’s distaste, I decided it better to be used in someway than hidden way.
My somewhat fragile deer, restored back to his glory, alongside a ladybird stapler, duck pencil sharpener and a ball of string.
This was something I bought a while ago, in Tkmaxx, and I finally seem to have found a use for it. It now homes my to go to craft essentials, Pritt Stick and ink, as well as masking/cello tape and embroidery hoop. Also the obligatory Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Hello Kitty and Olive Oyl from Popeye for good measure.
And finally my lovely heart shaped note hanger has had some new additions added in recent months, as well as finally getting a few other bits on the wall alongside it too.
Including these Winnie the Pooh postage stamps, far too cute to use of course!

If they bring you pleasure then of course they should be on display for you to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYou've got such beautiful, eclectic taste in home furnishings Alice :) I always love looking at your trinkets.
ReplyDeleteI MUST have a ladybird stapler though - do you remember where it came from?

ReplyDeleteAlex- It came from Accessorize in the January sales of this year- it was £3.00 full price but I paid a mere £1.50 x
ReplyDeleteI Love having all my trinkets on show too - i love the tins, ive got a thing for tins, baskets, hampers any thing to put things in really. I adore the use of the tea pot - i might have to shamelessly pinch that idea and use one of mine in the office for my bits and bobs :o) Scarlett x
