Have you ever been to someone's home and noticed on their shelves items that you had no idea what they were let alone what they were used for but they just looked great displayed ?
 
We all have those item's. Packed away in a box in the attic in the basement. Stuff that we picked up at the flea market or Uncle Ralph gave us as a child. How about that old rusty toy truck you found in the backyard of the home you just purchased? Not really unusual but the fact that it is rusty and old could spark a conversation as to where it was found. We ALL have them and YES they can be displayed and look great! Oh, by the way....they are called Curiosities.

So this weekend take a look at what you have had squirreled away for years and play with a shelf display or two. I would love to see what you have!

                                                                                

My husband's diving expedition finds.
 

How about some oddities?
 


 
 
Taxidermy has never been a favorie of mine but how about you?
 
 
 
Not curious but F*U*N ! Everyone likes toy's!
