Re: Ornaments

The problem is when one is given ornaments as gifts and the 'givers' expect to see them on display.
I rush around putting ornaments out then hiding them away again apart from two silver Schnauzers which are always displayed..

Re: Ornaments

Meg it makes me feel awful if someone gives me an ornament that's not my taste. I'll find a place for it -when I know they're coming to visit

Re: Ornaments

Even something not to my taste I put out on display, before long they become as well loved as all the others, the memories of who gave them to me over take my distaste at the style.
Only thing I have boxed up is my miniature tea set my gran gave me it's well over 200 years old now and extremely delicate, I accidentally chipped a cup and was distraught so thought it best to protect it. If we ever move I am going to get a proper display cabinet for it where it can be safe.

Re: Ornaments

Yes my husband won't have anything to do with it too scared to breath on it even, but it's been in my family so long I want to keep it nice to hand on to next generation, the boys are both very minimalist in their decorations so won't want a pretty blue and white tea set, but hoping Grace might inherit my love of it. We almost sold it once when we had a problem but in the end my husband couldn't part with it he wouldn't let me sell it.
