An apparatus (10) and method for displaying two decorative items as a unit involves a U-shaped bracket (12) having a front arm (22) and a rear arm (24) interconnected at a base (26) with a middle attaching device (27, 27', 18, 20) at the base for mounting a pleated fan (54) between the arms and a pocket (50) attached to the second item (52), which can be a doll (52), which pocket is sized to snugly receive the front arm. In a preferred embodiment, there is further included an additional elastic band (16) adjacent a mouth (58) of the pocket on the second item which cooperates with edge notches (32, 34) in the front arm to ensure that the second item does not inadvertently fall off of the arm. In a preferred embodiment, the rear arm includes a device (48) for attaching the apparatus to a wall and the U-shaped bracket includes a means for supporting itself on a horizontal surface, with the two arms being vertically oriented.
