HOME DECOR - MY GRANDMOTHERS NICK NACK SHELF

while craig and myself were rearranging the garage, to be able to pull in the new couch we were expecting to get, i happened to locate a prized possession of mine that used to belong to my grandmother.

i love the things i got to keep that were hers. and try very hard to keep them up, and make good use of them.

and this was a simple nick nack shlef i can remember being a part of my life since i was 5.

im sure it was in my life before that, but i dont have any memory of it until we moved to Virginia Beach Nerginia, and i can remember it was hanging on the landing of the stairs wall. i saw it every day. it had various porceline animal statues on it.

when my grandmother was thinking she was getting up in age, she asked all of her children and grands to place names on items they wanted. i wanted that. so i put my name on it.
i dont regret doing it. i cherish every item i got too keep.

so, it was a thrill to redisover this item. and see it was in very good condition.

immediately, i thought of what to use it for, how to use it, where to put it.
and i had one idea.
on the wall where the front door is.

i had just gotten some small nativities i could actually show case on this shelf.

so i had craig fashion it up for me.

then i had the joy of picking out items to place on it for decor.

so, it sits now, on the wall as you enter..with various nativities (mostly) on it.
i really like it, gives the wall a warm feeling.
