I'm so proud of the decorations in our playroom and especially love the history behind some of them. One in particular is this little shadow box. Up until a few months ago, my Mom has always had it up at her house and decorated it for every season. In fact, I remember countless times as a child changing out the decorations when the seasons changed! I saw it at her house when we were there at Christmas and told her I'd be happy to take it if she didn't want it anymore. She said sure, and gave me the shadow box along with her tackle box of decorations for it. The girls were really excited to see all the decorations and have enjoyed helping me change it out for Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day so far. I love how the shadow box is displayed with these two paper fans in the play room. The gold on the fans perfectly match the gold on the box!
The other shelf is one I've had for quite a while and it came from my parents as a gift. I've always had my knick knacks and figurines on it, but decided to take my stuff down and put the shelf up in the play room to let the girls enjoy it with their treasures. My sister has a shelf exactly like this and had it up in her kitchen, decorated for each holiday. They recently redecorated their kitchen and did not put this shelf back up. I asked her if I could have some of the items she had on her shelf to use on my shelf and she said yes. It will be so much fun in the future to continue combining everything I have for these shelves, along with that from my Mom and sister, and anything new Lucy and Molly might get to decorate the shelves!
