What do you nick-nacks say about you ?

some of my Lilliputs run out of room elsewhere

my lovely dog poppy's ashes we lost her last year which broke us both
some dafs that need throwing out
another Lilliput
a dog ornament mum in law gave us

My mantlepiece is currently leaning like a drunken sailor against another wall, devoid of anything (even dust) because we're painting the lounge - finally! Usually there's a small carriage clock hubby was given upon retirement, any cards received, and its where I leave my watch, specs, rings for safety if I take them off. Ornaments vary as the mood takes me

I have a carriage clock that my daughter bought me and my OH for our anniversary many years ago. Also 2 snowbabies, a photo of my deceased mom and dad and 2 Yankee Candles that my daughter also bought me.

No mantlepiece but my radiator shelf currently has 2 Buddha figurines,a Chinese temple nightlight holder,a Chinese dragon,2 mini "mushroom" houses and a small vase of flowers. Oh and a Love me Love my dog plaque that fell off the wall!

Books - overspill from too full bookcases. It says I read a lot, plus cannot bear to part with books (someone else might throw them away)

Not allowed nick nacks dh says they look untidy I don’t
mind his dictates as when I put anything on anything
my two kittens have to examine everything and then knock them off by accident of cause.lol
Their nosiness gives us lots of laughs they are so cute

My aunt's and grandma's mntlepiece had a vast display of pills and medicines. I always said that I would never do that but age is making me gather a few things I have on repeat prescription. I don't put them on the mantle piece though.

I have no nick nacks. We have no mantel piece anyway but have a vase of flowers occasionally on the dressers, and some brandy etc on a nice tray. I dislike clutter.

I keep very few mementos too. We moved house a few months ago and I allowed myself just one box for photos, baby 'stuff', special cards. Everything else is given to charity or other family members.

DH on the other keeps too much.

No mantelpiece but cabinet has lovely handcrafted wooden box my daughter brought me from Canada. A small IKEA clock and heap of knitting accoutrements that I need close at hand.

My Knick knacks say that I don’t dust enough!!?

No mantelpiece just window shelves on which I have some sparkly candle holders and my mother's day cards. A special candle for my grandson, Harry, who flew to heaven 3 years ago and the lego architecture Trevi Fountain that he made for me.

Childs cricket trophies and Mothers Day cards.

lovebeigecardigans thank you for your comment .... A friend bought the cherubs for me from a Far East company that have now unfortunately ceased trading. I’ve had so many people ask where I got them from so it is a shame as they’re such a lovely gift ...

Eighteenth century Worcester blue and white ware with a clock made by my husband's grandfather in the middle. I think it's elegant and lovely but I think my book group found it pretentious and dull!

A load of old tat here.
I suppose that speaks volumes about me being tatty

phoenix you always make me giggle! Your post was my best laugh of the day! Dettol .... heh!

Four candle sticks, one smoky smelly candle, 2 crystal vases, 1 ginger jar, 1 crystal shoe, 2 ceramic shells, 2 Pellegrino soft drink bottles each with a dead rose in it, some rose petals, dust and fairy lights. I can see I am lacking in family photos!

A cobweb
A prized collection of hand made Mothers Day cards given when the children were young.
A large mother of pearl shell. About the size of a dinner plate.
A large ammonite fossil and a small one.

No mantelpiece but on a wooden chest : A turquoise china Buddha, turquoise tall ceramic vase, a silver Indian decorated elephant, a miniature Chinese black table displaying a gorgeous mini white orchid.

Rosenoir I have always wanted a dead fly! Where did you buy it?

A clock in the centre flanked by three Royal Worcester child figurines, October, November and December. To the right of December is a small elephant with a Flaming Katie plant then a lamp with a deer on it. To the left of November is an elephant with a baby elephant inside, a small vase with a giraffe on it and a Royal Doulton figurine of a boy with two puppies. There are also two Welsh slate souvenir coasters propped against the wall and three Mothering Sunday cards.

A Masons Ironstone clock in the middle with a small Masons ginger jar on one side & a larger on the other. A pair of glass candlesticks. A little black china chicken & a small glass mouse. The banana-shaped Valentine card I gave DH this year. A pair of large glass jars with a string of pretty lights inside - should've gone away with the Christmas decorations but I liked them too much!

No mantelpiece, but my unit is rather crowded, at the moment, with Mother’s Day flowers and cards. It’s normal contents are a collection of African figures, wedding photo of DH and myself, a family group photo taken when DH was 80, and two blue glass candle holders.

Goodness Anniebach,you must have a big mantlepiece?ive got 2 plastic fake-flame candles& a canvas photo pic of our handsome cat.& my mothers day cards.(which were mostly posted to me,except my 2 sons who live here)when i take cards down itl be the GC's photos added to the cats.
