Finally found a small display shelf!
My grandmother collected trinkets when I was a kid. It was a right of passage to give her the small toys you grew out of. I remember coveting my tiny kinder egg surprise toys when I was a child in the 90’s (I was obsessed with anything super tiny). I felt so grown up when I gave them to my grandmother to put in her trinket box when I no longer played with them.
She passed away in 2020 and I inherited her trinket box, and all my childhood trinkets were returned back to me. Now I’m an actual adult with kids of my own, it felt like a full circle moment.
There are generations of trinkets, from her kids (who were children in the 50’s and 60’s) and my cousins and I (who grew up in the 90’s and early 00’s), now I’m adding trinkets from my kids (born post 2020). Though I’ve combined the trinket collection I started with hers, this isn’t even 1/4 of our combined collection. Finding shelves is quite tricky! But I’m hoping to display the entire collection one day.
Just wanted to share! 💛
