My place and yours : on the shelf.



WOOHOO for Vic bringing back the old favourite meme. My place and yours.
This week's theme is On the Shelf ( something people could say of me hehe)
mine is technically not a shelf but on the mantle.
This is the mantle in my bedroom, and every time I look at it it makes me smile or feel happy. I guess there are no surprises here for you. Favourite bear cards, my mum's childhood cat ( mummy cat) two tiny old bears,an advent calender in the shape of house that I can't bear to put away , an old wind in the willows set of felt figures, an old wooden peg doll, an old mammoth ( bellboy) whose vertically challenged, various cups and saucer and other bits and pieces ( you may want to click on the photo to see a bigger pic)
I also had pretty much the same set up on the mantle of my old bedroom, and made sure to try to have the same things, because it made me instantly feel at home looking at them
TO join in and see other shelves go here.
