Vintage Cabinet

When I saw this cabinet on Sweet Magnolias Farm's Blog I fell in  LOVE! I was actually looking for a cabinet to organize all my CRA....FT Supplies. 

After I brought it home I decided that it should hold special items so I did. Everything inside this cabinet has been given to me or purchased from friends.




This plate is as old as me......43 years old. This was my first plate. Not sure you can see but it is a double plate. My Mamma used to fill the bottom plate with hot water to keep my soup warm.

Love my new/vintage Cabinet!

Ciao for now

    love the cabinet!!! Yes, fish tacos soon. Though, Nate might be getting another job and that means he has to work Saturdays. Sundays are best, if we can plan for one.

    Rita!!! This is so stinkin cute! I would love to find something like that to fill with my cobalt blue and white collection. The fabric is just the best touch. Thanks so much for sharing. If you could, I'd love for you to share it at my Frugal Treasures party going on thru Sunday. Have a good weekend.

    How lovely. I never thought of purchasing a cabinet when the glass is broken or missing. This would be perfect way to still display even without glass. It's lovely. :)
