My vintage head vases that live on a shelf above my sewing area. I love head vases, but I only buy them when I find ones I really love and if the price is right.
I love nuns and nun-related items! I have to keep my 'nun love' compulsion to a small shelf, so I don't 'over nun' the house with them. Yes, I'm corny. *Wink*
More vintage chalkware that lives on our shadow box in the living room. My favorite is the green head vase, which is the original color! I would like to find the male counterpart some day.
The raven book ends were a gift from Miss Bethezda and her husband, I adore their little robust bodies! They guard part of our Edward Gorey hard cover book collection and look down at me while I'm blogging.
Victorian Boney Bunch candle holder, a gift from Derek, I love her big bustle skirt and little skeleton smile. Oh yes, that is a taxidermy spider you see, an anniversary gift from Derek. We joke that we're creating our own 'anniversary gift guide'; first year was skulls, second year was spiders and third year is knives. Hahaha!
Skeletal cherubs that sit on my small 'knick knack' shelves (above my sewing area) that Derek painted for me. I simply adore them and it's another example of Derek's humor and painting skills.
What are your favorite knick knacks? I would love to see your photos and blog posts, please keep free to comment with a link!
Thanks for reading!

Thank you! The lady with the black hat is my favorite ;)
DeleteI just wanted to let you know I tagged you on the Very Inspiring Blogger Award ^^
ReplyDeleteAww thank you, I saw that I your blog and I forgot to comment!
DeleteLOVE that Nun Collection - I've never seen anything like it!! The spouse requested my Religious Icon Collection be moved up to the third-floor attic. Honestly, nobody can appreciate it up there! ;D
ReplyDeleteHey, can you please check the bottoms of those raven bookends for a sticker or something that says who makes them? I've been looking since practically forever for something like that for the Attic! :o)
Gasp! No, no, NO religious icons need to be admired, I would protest!
DeleteSadly the ravens have no markings other than "made in china"
My favorites are the skeleton cherubs, the ravens, and the NUNS!! I've always had a fondness for nuns, but never thought of collecting them! (Weird thought, "collecting" nuns...) ;-)
ReplyDeleteI used to collect Barbie dolls; not the "regular use" ones, but the specialty ones. I still have them, but can't afford to buy them anymore. Some are in my display case, others are packed away, waiting until I have enough space to show them off.
It is a weird thought of "collecting nuns", I never thought of it that way. Hahaha!
DeleteI hope you find a wonderful way to display your beloved Barbie Dolls! We have a friend who has a collector herself, I always admire her collection when we visit :)
Love your stuff! You have some fabulous things. I'm coveting your Victorian Boney Bunch candle holder in particular. Your nun collection made me laugh too and reminded me that we used to have a couple of wind up ones that spit fire called "Nunzillas" that a friend bought us when we moved into our first flat. Sadly they got overwound in nun racing events at parties and are now in broken toy heaven ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh no, poor Nunzilla's! They were well loved for sure ;)
