I have some longaberger baskets, and the jim beam decanter bottles that look like cars..my dad collected those and gave them to me before he died, plus, they are all full of jim beam burbon!
I had to google Quaich to see what it was, very pretty. I'm considering storing and rotating some of my books so that I'll have a little room for displaying a few things. The responses so far are interesting. I like hearing how people do things differently.

Me too! My husband is a flooring installer and I help him every once in a while...anyway, we are in so many newer homes and see so many different types of design elements, that I always come away with new ideas.
All nine of the 3' x 7' bookcases are packed solid with books - and before moving I purged enough to fill the cargo space of an old Volvo station wagon to the headliner. Twice.
I do have lots of pretty things on the china cabinet, side boards, mantle, several etageres, etc.
Oh, the front edge of most of the book shelves have a good amount of dust and dog hair on them because those 6 darned dogs just grow far more fur than they need, shed it everywhere, and refuse to vacuum.
i have picture frames..my landline..candles and some figurines..im planning to buy another bookshelf because my 1 shelf cant hold the numbers of books i have..
In addition to my favorite (and only those) books, I have several small elegant clay pots made by New Mexico's Pueblo Indians, a large red rock from New Mexico with a small metal pelican (from Eureka, CA) standing on it, a small wooden box with an inlaid tile elephant from India, a tiny wooden violin from a music venue in Philadelphia, and etc., etc.--little things that remind me of elements of my life experiences that I want to remember. In a way, these things serve the same purpose as my favorite books.
I have photo albums, some craft supplies and some knicks knacks.
