Everything on Display

Hello!
Over Christmas I started a display wall in our bedroom, I figured what's the point in having quirky little bits and bobs if they're always hidden away? Some of the things I've pinned have meaning,history or were presents, some are things I've collected, thrifted or made, and others I just think are pretty. The centre piece for the wall, a string of coloured lights, a Christmas present from Bob and other than that I didn't have any particular plan when I was arranging stuff, it's all quite random, although I've grouped heart shaped objects together. I've been adding to the wall, so it will evolve with time, this time next year I'll look back and see how it has changed....at this rate there may be no wall left to see!!
just starting out....





Butterfly lights, battery powered, when lit flicker with fibre optic lights, a present from my da this Christmas.


The two little cherubs were a present from Alison in Lakota's Christmas swap and the Bonheur (Happiness) heart was a  Christmas gift from my friend Caroline


Guatamalan worry dolls, they come in a little bag, and before you go to sleep you tell them your worries in the morning they'll have taken them away, I've stuck mine in an Ikea frame, I hope they'll still work!
Two gorgeous antique spoons, another one of Alisons gifts to me in the swap, they're tiny!
I made this  little matchbox scene as a  present to the big lad for our going out for 10 months anniversairy nearly 13 years ago.....I love ewe

hearts are a theme....


Peek-a-boo!

  2. Great idea to have all the things you love and mean something to you together on the wall. The lights really set them off.

  3. Your display wall is lovely - having things that mean so much to you out on display is great, it's so sad when special things get put away somewhere and never seen. The last photo is so cute too! :) Elisabeth xx
