thrifted: the perfect miniature shelf

I’m so obsessed with old things it’s crazy, like looking around at websites of auctions with like old decorative things is one of my favourite pastimes. And sometimes I find the most magical things. Well most of the time I find magical things. THERE ARE TOO MANY PRETTY THINGS OUT THERE.

Anyway, recently I found this PERFECT little thing and I couldn’t not buy it because I love it so so much.

So here it is, it’s this amazing little miniature shelf for keeping everything important in. It’s the perfect combination of brass, glass and mirror and is standing on these adorable little round feet.

Isn’t it perfect? I’m so in love. The mirror just makes it twice as amazing and IMAGINE keeping pretty things in it. It will seem like you have twice as many pretty things!!! Like magic. Or The Sims. (I always wished I could copy things I owned and buy more of them like in The Sims. Or delete stuff. Like dirty dishes. And then magically pull some new plates out of your back pocket. Ahh, sim life.)

I’m so happy this little thing is in my life now, but I’m not sure what to keep in it. It’s important though, it has to be something magical and mysterious and spectacular and beautiful.

So far I’ve come up with the following things to keep in the shelf:

• hopes and dreams (though they might be too big)
• sparkly things
• my collection of stones and minerals
• rings
• tiny people
• tiny animals
• tiny things
• tiny food
• tiny sparkly things
• everything tiny
• I think I’m stuck on tiny

If you have any ideas, please comment below. This is important, but we can do it if we work together.
