The post about crockery, cutlery etc has made me think of how many things of personal value we have stored away and haven't looked at them for ages. I have some lovely ornaments including several Lladro pieces, other items in glass cupboards, some nice jewellery which I occasionally use, and a wooden box of what I call My Treasures. This consists of various items like bone and ebony glove stretchers, shoe hooks, decorative spoons, a silver cheese scoop, three rather old bone and wood awls, and a tiny little red leather purse thingy that holds a manicure set and has "For My Ladies Fingers" on the front. I love to look at them on occasions and maybe take them out and hold them for a moment. I can honestly say I have nothing stashed away that I like looking at except for a rather nice ornate black metal fireguard which won't quite fit in front of our imitation wood burner electric room heater.
