Collections

sometime a collection is just for display: here are the family play mobile people, no more no less

a selected assembly of lacquer Russian homeware

decades of treasures: plush toys, pandas, tiny tea sets and pompom birds

boxes of useful things, dolls house furniture, ribbons, labels, silk flowers

a draw full of whole walnut shells to be turned into tiny containers

model for cutlery held by hands

collected tea set in a box

birthday candles and old glass bottles

pebbles with quartz veins

mummified insects!

skeletal remains of cat victims: mouse bird and frog

Wunderkammer

There is an exhibition of Doll’s Houses at the V&A’s Museum of Childhood in bethnal green. We went on a particularly hot day and peered through the glass as children flowed like the tide around our feet.
