I have another display up at the Lima Public Library. Since it is still summer, I thought a beach theme would be appropriate and fun. The library has these 2 nice lighted showcases, flanking the entrance. So I have put up my collection of Victorian shell covered boxes, and knick-knacks made with shells and bisque dolls. Those are in mostly one showcase, while the other has my small Mermaids and Bathing Beauty figurines. I have mixed in a few antique advertising tins with beach scenes, and a few shell-shaped ceramic vases, along with some antique postcards, and a few other treasures.
Click on the above photos to enlarge.
I hope you'll have a chance to stop by the Lima Public Library and see these treasures in person -- they are so much prettier than the photos.
