My forgotten treasures

I bought these sculptured porcelain spoons long long ago in one of my trips to Prague. Yes Prague is synonym to crystal but I was so happy when I spotted these fine porcelain in one of those many narrow streets off the Wenceslas square. Each spoon had a name and was packed into a box with its picture on it and with the name of the designer and the sculptor too. That's amazing isn't it? Very conveniently I tucked them off into one of the storage almirahs and with time completely forgot their existence, until a recent spree of decluttering unearthed them :-). I am not sure what treasures my kith and kin will discover in their attempt to empty my loft and cupboards when I am dead and gone :-). Do you have the same problem of forgetting things that you buy that are safely tucked into some forgotten corners or do you keep track of them all  -  tips Please.

    Oh, they are gorgeous. Fortunately, I don't have that problem. When I buy something, I am so dreaming about them that as soon as I get home I have to find them a home:):) Now as for remembering where I stored those important papers....now that is another story:)

    you could display them in a frame...that way you admire them all the time...granted...you wouldn't be able to use them!
