<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 842842, member: 5833"]Afraid my collection is well beyond the 'keep all in one place' stage. Would love to have the funds to commission & a place to put a purpose built cabinet. Many of my earlier ones found little niches in an already well occupied display cabinet, larger ones on acrylic easels, most lying flat. At least as many more are in little boxes, alone or occasionally with others by the same cutter, strewn (OK, not quite strewn, slightly more orderly) in a handful of places, including ranged around the edges of the desk. I bought an inexpensive new machinist's chest to house things that are neither particularly valuable nor something I want to see regularly. I bought a nice pre-owned sewing chest, thinking to keep the real treasures, in boxes, there. It quickly filled up. Not everything that got placed there qualifies as a treasure (as a thief would define it). Need to put some that I value but that are not set into the display cabinet & move some other things in.</p><p><br /></p><p>There's the conflict of keeping things safe from dust, damage & theft vs. being able to see/wear & enjoy them easily. I get to see many of mine when I'm opening boxes looking for another. I can never remember which cameo is in which box.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before buying & putting into service anything for your cameos, please read up on <a href="https://cameotimes.com/index.php/reference/byne-s-disease" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cameotimes.com/index.php/reference/byne-s-disease" rel="nofollow">'Byne's Disease'</a>.
