The Queen of Knick Knacks

My daughter once accused me of being a "knick knack" housekeeper. When I visit her home, her bookcases, stands and counters are tastefully decorated with simple but appropriate items. You can actually SEE her counters.

With cooler weather setting in this week, I decided I'd better get around to doing some house cleaning. As I whipped out the Pledge and Windex, I began to wipe everything clean. As I moved each item to polish underneath of it, I had memories of the many people who gave me little gifts. A family member, a friend, my Mom and so on and so on. I seriously did try to snatch some of the items for a box for the attic but every time I tried to put it in a box for the attic, a part of me argued and back they went in the same spot.

Soooooo ..... in addition to being a Mom and a Grandma, I've decided to stake a claim on the title "Queen of Knick Knacks".

I think I would win. All I need now are bigger counters and tables.
