Only gather items that you cherish.
“More than anything, the most important thing to keep in mind when collecting treasured finds for your tabletops is that they should be something that you love,” says Lidy. “It could be the material, the shape, the color, or even a memory attached to the piece that endears a certain treasure to your heart.” This approach may result in your ownership of items with a similar theme, in which case the objects may display well when grouped together. In this case, an antique French jar bearing the name of an orange peel liqueur sits beside the fragrant fruit.
