#57 Dad's Collections for Mom

THEN THERE WERE MOM'S COLLECTIONS

While Dad's many collections were on display in the basement and garage, the main floor (especially the walls) were devoted to Mom's collections. Dad was a major gifter of these. Everything was catalogued and on display, neatly arranged and regularly dusted, 

Perhaps ten doll house that Dad built and Mom decorated, all on display in their home.

                                     

Mom had around 300 dolls on display.

Mom enjoyed playing on this big electronic organ.

Crystal on display

Mom's bell collection of hundreds of dinner bells. 

More bells and collector plates. Dad made the display shelves...and they saved all the boxes for these collectibles in the attic!

Spoons--a half dozen of these display cases
