This post is especially for my new friend Karen,
A Mermaids Purse. First I want to say how much my blog friends mean to me. I have always embraced digital communication; from the early days of the
Internet back in the mid-80's. Still I'm rather new to blogging. It has been very rewarding as a place for me to journal, and !SURPRISE!, to meet such a varied and supportive clan. OK, back to Karen. She has a cabinet almost exactly like mine. I thought I'd share.
My cabinet is in the master bedroom; filled with my most special treasures. I enjoy holiday displays in my foyer, or wherever I can glimpse things that make me smile, and I'm still
all about the vintage look. I take these goodies out at the appropriate season and place them with the rest of my seasonal collections. Above are old treasures from long ago, most bought on eBay. The little nut cup in front is a Wendy Addison original.
Next is my collection of
Steiff animals. I could never afford this brand, though I did buy my nephew Jason a
Steiff hedgehog.
Hmmm, wonder where that is now? Around 2001 I decided I would have
Steiff in my life. Again, via eBay, I've acquired a few previously-loved darlings.
Here are some vintage Christmas corsages and
whatnot. So very sweet.
Here are some old porcelain mermaids that I put on my dining table in the
summer. Also two Wendy Addison eggs for Easter. Displayed not very well at all are my old beaded handbags. None of these are pristine, so not valuable, but
exquisite, nevertheless. They really deserve a shadowbox frame...another day. I also store my oldest Halloween things here, but you saw those in my "The Haunting" post. So, I hope you enjoyed a tour through my cabinet.

Goodness, Charlotte! WHat a wonderful collection.
Is that a Steiff llama???? How adorable! It's so Christmasy. Wouldn't Santa's sleigh pulled by llamas be great?
The mermaids are super fun, and I also really like the tiny Christmas scene.
Blogging IS a joy. I'm so grateful for my internet friends like YOU! I just wish you lived close enough for a hug.
