~I LOVE A PARTY....~

Our "Cupboard" party that Shelia @ NOTE SONGS has been promising us. 

No kitchen cupboards for me...it's a long story..but once I had the cupboards of my dreams.  All painted a lovely white and glassed in completely around my kitchen.  When I move after my husbands death, I had to leave all that behind..and start again. 

One day...perhaps I will have my pretty cupboards again..but...for now...this is my favorite.

We bought this hutch when my youngest daughter was two years old and she is now 41.  We also bought the table, a cross bar tressel table that is  in the garage waiting to have the top refinished...

The houses on top of the hutch are ones I collect too.  I never collect dozens of anything really.

The right hand drawer was always full of ribbons for my four daughters hair..I bought it by the yard in every conceivable color and pattern and each morning they got to pick out the ribbons of their choice.  A nice "old person's" memory! :)

Those little lace shoes lined with delicate silk are my own baby shoes from when I was tiny.  Jeremy Fisher is my favorite of Beatrix Potter's characters...I collect them..the rest Peter Rabbit, etc. are in the living room cabinet that belonged to my mother.

Very small cross stitched framed pictures are some of my garage sale finds.

Oh NO!  It came out blurry!  I am having the worst time...never mind.  You can see it well enough..

Just....stuff.  Playing with the display shelves have never failed to be fun for me. 

When I was in my 30's and had almost nothing to put in my hutch...I still loved it.

Oops!  :) There are some of my Beatrix Potter collection!  I thought they were in the living room cabinet!

Ah well.  My memory is not what it used to be! 

So...there you have it...MY CABINET contribution, such as it is... :)

Love and hugs,

Mona

THANK YOU, Shelia, you little sweetie pie...that was fun!!
