Your Chinese paperweight should be used for what it is - a nice example of a gift item of a type that many folk enjoy; and it should be treated as part of a collection just like any other item you buy because you like it and/or chose to have it for its interest etc.

A collection of general Chinese weights can make a wonderful display.

They would look nice on a base with mini LED light base on it (as the post about up-lighting).  I still like it.  It is OK

Rose has a teenager with large feet; I don't recommend that arrangement for her lounge!

Hi,

I love the 'all round' TV display. And wouldn't I like to have some of these weights on my own floor/collection, too.

Never invite me, I may not resist coming with deep pockets.

Actually, I will hide this picture from my husband. He might take it as a warning of things to come. And that would never do!

Hi Kev

Thanks for posting the image of your TV approach path.  We feel a lot less guilty about various parts of our house now (although ours is not decorated with quite such attractive items)!

Alan - as I remember it, your house showed no parts to be guilty about. Or do you do as I do, before visitors arrive ... move all the "stuff" into a room that is unlikely to be seen ... and then move it all back again when the visitors have gone?

Hi Kev

I think that there is always an element of tidying up before visitors arrive! (Clearing a path through the debris, hiding the weights bought in error, putting away embarrassing parts of one collection, and so on).

You may recall we have an old barn covered in climbing plants.....
