I change out what's on top of it...quite often and truthfully the washstand has found a new home (more on that later), but it seems to be working in here for now.
This little beauty is from Zsolnay Porcelain & Pottery factory in Hungary. It is a little trinket that my mother-in-law gave me for my birthday after one of her trips. I've always loved this little pill box.
This big boy came to us all the way from Austria. I see these things all over now, but when my husband received this from his mom, we thought it was really unique.
This is a little Murano glass pitcher from Venice. We had our wedding rehearsal dinner in Venice and my MIL gave us a little memento of that evening. She brought it back with her while we went on to our honeymoon. I'm so glad she did! It's always been a reminder of a wonderful night in Venice.
I enjoy my little display stand (which was a birthday gift from MIL) of treasures in my bathroom. The great thing about it is I can just lift it and move it anywhere in the house!
She's going to Paris in a few weeks...I may need a bigger stand!
I'm sharing this over at A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday.

That is one fancy shmancy washstand. I love the mural on your wall too...what a beautiful powder room.
