Photographic Scavenger Hunt....

Once again I'm joining in with Deb. This week the photos are about what is on a shelf. Last week I left a comment on Deb's blog saying that my shelves are too untidy to photograph and that I would have to post photos of other people's shelves. But it's ok, I've reconsidered and all the 'shelf photos' are my own, lol!

Once I used to regularly change the display in my buffet hutch, but in recent times I've got out of the habit. I always enjoy it when Tanya over at Suburban Jubilee changes the display of her china and other knick nacks and shares the photos on her blog. So this last week I decided to change the mess display in my hutch. I have never displayed this dinner set in all the years that I've owned it; it's always been hidden in a lower cupboard. I put some other 'pastel pieces' with it as well.


 I really enjoyed creating this display so I think I will change this on a regular basis, bringing out items that haven't seen the 'light of day' for ages. The majority of the display china is the design called 'Angela' which I thought was so pretty (still do!), and encouraged by my late MIL, I started buying it piece by piece. Then it was discontinued before I could collect the majority of it. It is the one set that is liked by DD1 and she has asked me to leave it to her!

Now DH and I have 'his' and 'her' mug shelves. I like to think that my cups/mugs are more dainty than his! lol

We also have a display unit in the lounge room in which we display family photos and a few other items, especially DH's golfing trophies. The unit is really a DVD storage unit, but we needed a tallish unit to 'balance' an empty corner...and somewhere to show off photos...so that's what it became :-)


So there you are...some of my shelves...
