ornaments ... why?

Ornaments ...

I mean ... why ???

Porcelain statuettes. Little figurines. Pottery animals. Vases. Bowls. Weird glass things. Little cottages. I hate them.

Please tell me that nobody here has ornaments in their house.

[mumof3angels]

No I'm with you. I can't stand ornaments or little nik-naks. Dust gatherers for a start.

Yep. Dust.

And ... they're just waiting to get knocked off.

I also collect the 'InThe Olde World Garden' art deco pottery made by lancaster and sandland of henley, Staffs. deom about 1939 (it's the one with the crinilone lady on, if anyone has any i will pay top dollar!!) My grandmother left me a couple of pieces and i have added to it over the years.

I also have a few good Delft blue and white antiques too

I only have glass things - like candle holders etc.

No ornaments I promise!!

I hate figurines and fussy things....but I have a lot of early 20thC studio pottery.......I like the individuality and the glazes....makes them all almost 1-of-a-kind.....and cos they are old-dust suits them...lol

[mrs.chappie]

I don't have any ornaments at all. I prefer a minimalistic look.

[christine847]

[Bathsheba]

I couldn't live with minimilism......anything I have has a memory attached to it.....and I have books everywhere!!

Oh and a white porcelain Victorian Ice Skater about 8" high

[joggerjayne]

That's a relief, Sal.

Dot's house sounds like accident central.

Bathsheba ... what possesses anyone to have that sort of thing in their house?

[mrs.chappie]

Hey pasta, I've lots of stuff that hold memories, but I have 'em tucked away in the cupboards.

I like to keep me living space as clutter-free as poss.

[DebsyDoo]

What about houseplants JJ ?

(they are dust collectors too !)

But you just gotta have 'em !
