The smallest finds are the ones which can easily get lost in the shuffle or look junky. A traditional way to elevate those finds would be to bring a sense of wonder by exhibiting them beneath the glass of a bell jar, otherwise known as a cloche.

An intriguing arrangement in this bell jar stipulates a delicate bird’s nest sitting on small tower of books. The only real nearby provides a relaxed note to the analysis in character.

Some people are turned off my the rustic lodge look of antlers along with the concept that a deer was hunted to display the antlers. In actuality, deer shed their antlers annually so finding one (or purchasing it) is a great coup. Their natural branch like forms are a legitimate celebration of nature’s beauty.
