wunderkrammer.

here's a little slice of the new curio cabinet that we got from my grandparents. it's a fairly shallow bookcase with a plate groove on the back on each shelf! pretty nifty. in this little collection i can spy work by nadja sayej, ottoman, small stump, margie oomen, tara bursey, the museum of jurassic technology and holly procktor. also acorn tops from my mom, a buckeye from southern illinois, lichen from pender island and the edge of a plate from nevada. as we try to rearrange everything in our home, i am sure it will take better shape. the light was just catching it very well this morning.

It's lovely! My little lichen rock is in good company, indeed!

I particularly like the morgue toe-tag. Nicely counterbalances the hand-crafted and collected-from-nature motif. This cabinet has never looked so well-loved.

a) summer: i love your lichen rock. it is a prized possession of mine or 'personal treasure' as my young friend willy would say.

b) mama: i wish we could have accommodated both cabinets. his/her curio cabinets has been a household dream since we visited our friends bruce and shannah in southern illinois (they have such a set-up).

Me, too. If any space opens up, the second cabinet could possibly be reclaimed from consignment. It was not sold when I departed on Wednesday. Meanwhile, we are delighted that you could use the one you took.
