Since we moved in to the "new house" there has been one box that has not been able to be unpacked. It was the box of my grandma's "knick-knacks" ( that's what she called them) which I suppose is the American version of "bric-a-brac" for all my English friends. Not all of them were hers, some I have collected over the years but most of them were hers and I treasure them.
Despite the fact that we sell furniture on our website, we have not been able to find a display cabinet that we like, so the box stayed packed! As usual with these things, we used to find great display cabinets when we were "shopping" for stock for the website but as soon as we really needed one, there were none to be found! after weeks of searching we finally found one just the right size, not too fancy and with open , unobstructed windows.
Paul primed it and painted it a beautiful shade of green and I lined it with wallpaper covered in roses. I think it came out beautiful. It was great to be able to finally unpack the "knick knacks".
Gram had a little figurine of each of her grandchildren although she stopped collecting them due to lack of space and the ever increasing number of new babies in the family.
This one is the figurine of me and I love it!
