Ornaments

[karen2205]

I need some reference points + some ideas:

I have lots of ornaments that I've now collected from my mum's house and I don't know where/how to display them. Many of these ornaments are Colourbox cats and then there are various other bits and pieces that don't fit in particular collections.

Points to note before making suggestions are:

I'm clumsy - I don't want these things where I might accidentally knock them.

I don't want to clutter my window sills too much

I *hate* dusting. I want to put these things somewhere where I won't have to dust them/the dust won't be visible.

If you've visited me, where could I put a display cabinet/what should I rearrange to get some display space? (note the tall CD rack isn't sturdy enough for delicate ornaments).

If you have ornaments whereabouts do you keep them?

Any other suggestions for maintenance free/low ways to display ornaments?

I have several things on the top of bookcases. It's more a 'dust not very visible' than a 'no dust', obviously, but they're fairly safe from being knocked over.

The few ornaments I keep live on the front parts of bookshelves, in front of the books. Others are the kind that were put on this earth by a beneficient deity to be picked up and played with, so they sort of drift around the place.

I really must get the hang of this dusting business one of these days.

Silver Cabinets are a really good way of keeping stuff matinance free. All they are, are glass fronted cabinets of some pretty design. If you keep them shut you have no dusting to do, also if you have silver stop the silver tarnishing some how (considering they are not air tight I find it a surprise). Of course buying something branded for this purpose will cost more but I'm sure you can find something tasteful that will do the same jpb.
