Scavenger Hunt - On the shelf (any shelf, it doesn’t matter)

These are shelves in my office at home. The clock belongs to the bearded wonder, he has had it longer than he has had me. There is a collection of my pottery, seashells, old ceramic bottles, dug out of an old mining town in the 70's and 2 crystal balls.

Here, we have a quaint old picture given to me by a friend back in the 80's, a Campbell and McHugh bowl, a photo of my daughter, Renee when she was 18, (she's almost 40, now), a small clay drum, odd boxes, a stone egg as well as my Snugglepot and Cuddlepie book collection. The glass contains small polished stones and the glass bottle is a discovery bottle filled with small plastic toys, glitter and oil. Sorry about the grainy pictures, I used my iphone and the lighting wasn't really good. Next week we are looking at photos of solitary trees. I will post the list for next month in a few days when I get home from my holiday.

  3. I am sorry but I entered an incorrect URL. I am on the list twice. The Gracie O'Tripp that is number 2 is incorrect if it possible for you to remove it. Apologies for stupid fingers.

  4. Beautiful collection of memories. I particularly love that bowl! Is it made from some type of shell?

  6. Interesting collection Deb. Thanks for your comment on my photos. All my shelves are full of books, books and more books,(and folders), so had to think up some other ideas...

  7. Hi Deb, I loved seeing your collection of treasures. I also noted your comments re the quality of your photos... do you know, I reckon they have just the perfect "old world" feeling to them and they show off your shelves of memories beautifully :D)
    Have a lovely holiday.

  8. Love they way you've displayed your treasures Deb. Mine are all over the place just like me at the moment. Guess what, we've just bought an old shack by the sea for retirement days and I had to use my iphone today for the challenge. We are so, so kindred spirits me thinks!!

  10. Shelves of seemingly randomness that actually tell a story. An accumulation of self. Perfect and full of soul
