Do you have a display/curio cabinet? What's in it?
I thought I would share some of the items in my cabinet.
The candle my brother gave me for my birthday a few years ago. A stuffed guinea pig that my mom bought in the hospital gift shop when I ended up in the ER back in 2011 when I found out I had an irregular heartbeat. I still have an irregular heartbeat but have been told it's nothing to worry about. The picture is of my grandparents. The glass curio shelf in the back was my moms.
A fur lined vase that I inherited from my mom when she passed.
A small stained glass jewelry box.
I bought this unicorn back in 1990.
2 cat statues that have funny looks on their faces.
Another unicorn stature I bought back in 1990.
This is a glass shelf my mom had. It has a picture of my grandmother and her brother. A tiny vase, tiny salt and pepper shakers, 2 small shot glasses, a small bottle of my moms perfume and a Swarovski Crystal clam figurine.
Another little jewelry box. These little jewelry boxes used to be really popular back in the 90's. So I have a few kinds.
You have some lovely items in your cabinet.
ReplyDeleteI have crystal glasses, vases not make anymore, a Royal Doulton tea and coffee set and that's about it apart from a few more odds and ends.
That sounds lovely.
DeleteWhat an eclectic collection. We have lots of curios. Vases. glass ornaments, things my partner bought overseas, black wedgewood, bone carvings...
ReplyDeleteThose things sound very interesting.
DeleteIt's always fascinating to have a peek inside other people''s cupboards. Each item has a memory attached, and that's nice.
ReplyDeleteI think so too.
DeleteFur lined vase? Never seen one of those before.
ReplyDeleteOurs is full of items from our travels around the world so it's also a mix.
My mom had some weird things that she bought around the country at different times.
DeleteYou have some really beautiful items in your curio cabinet and then of course you have some very curious ones. That's the reason for a curio cabinet isn't it. I enjoyed the look. Those unicorns are actually very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteI love the special memories behind each one.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLooks like a nice collection of memories.
ReplyDeleteIt is, thank you.
DeleteWe have one that is filled with teacups even though Sue has recently give a dozen for a good cause. She knows the story of all the cups and saucers. We also have a buffet cabinet.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great.
DeleteCool treasured curios!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWe had a curio cabinet that is still boxed up in the basement. We have discussed brining it out, but decided against it. Also boxed up is a large "dish pack" moving box with the stuff that was in the cabinet--mostly things from trips to other countries.
ReplyDeleteSounds like some great things.
DeleteI don't have a curio cabinet now, but I need one! I've got a lot of little things I've picked up on my travels that should be on display.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love these curio cabinets to display all the little things we all have.
DeleteLove all those jewelry boxes! I don't have a curio cabinet, but I do have a shelf and the top of a bookcase where I display some photos, my gargoyles from Paris, scarabs from Egypt, and my small collection of frogs. :D
ReplyDeleteOh I love that. Sounds very interesting.
DeleteLooks good
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThank you for sharing your very personal treasures with us! I've always been a collector. Now I am at the stage of life where I am trying to reconcile too many possessions by sharing them with others and in some cases selling them. Perhaps I will share some more of my objects in the future inspired by you. Thank you. Aloha
ReplyDeleteThank you, I hope you do.
DeleteI haven't seen a candle like that for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI wanted one like my grandma had and my brother found this one.
DeleteA bit creepy I must say with all those fury things around LOL Would scare me at night LOL
ReplyDeletelol If that creeps you out, then the dolls really would.
DeleteAll sorts of fun curios. Only l2 unicorns? You need a third to make a collection ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is just a couple of them, I'll have to post a picture of the others.
DeleteAh, so you do have a collection. Cool.
DeleteYes, I'll have to take pictures of them and share it in another post.
DeleteThose are fun! We have quite a few blasts from the past around here too.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThank you for sharing what's in your cabinet.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to have special items around you.
All the best Jan

DeleteYes, the two cats do have very strange expressions. And one of them has somehow lost an eye. Paws for thought!
