On The Shelf

 I started looking thru my house for an interesting shelf display, I did find one. Then I started thinking about the phrase, "ON THE SHELF".
One meaning that comes to mind is when in Victorian days if a young lady was beyond her coming out age (between 15-20) she was considered on the shelf, we put antiques on the shelf, we place all kinds of things on the shelf, I am looking forward to seeing what you have "On The Shelf."
This picture was posted for the 30 day Photo Challenge but I thought I would leave it on because of my Husbands heritage.
