Suitcase Theater

I thought I would have fun incorporating some russet tones in my post today in imitation of the August covers of Victoria.



One of Victoria's attractions to me has always been the depth of detail you get in the photos.



So I gathered up some of my more Victorian era possessions to highlight together.



Near the top of the list would be my Royal Albert Old Country Roses teacups in the Soft Pink Lace pattern.



Their lively design with roses all over sets just the tone I am going for.



I have been wanting to share them for a teacup post before, and never found quite the right setting until now.


A suitcase vignette is such a perfect theater for showcasing smaller related items in an interesting way.



It's a fun shop display technique, but there's no reason not to give it a try in a powder room, a dresser top, or any place you have available to enjoy the contents at close range.


Like a centerpiece, you can alter the arrangements to match the seasons.



We probably all have more items to display than we have space, and rotating collections gives us an opportunity to enjoy and admire something new on a regular basis.



Even sewing or crafting supplies are often too lovely to be hidden away, as we saw with all the creative ways such items were displayed in the recent Where Bloggers Create posts.



I had forgotten these pretty book name plates I had hidden in a drawer.



And I have oodles of interesting keys to display! You likely do too.



I hope you have some fun with your displays!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Ciao! for now!
