Memories...

Lots of memories, stories, and history in this old cabinet.

To start with the cabinet belonged to my husband's grandmother.

We found it in her basement, after she went to be with the Lord. 

 It was painted white and she had used it
 to store her garden harvests that she canned. 

It still had some green beans and carrots in it when we found it. 

My dear husband doesn't like wood items to be painted...so he

stripped the paint off and did a little repair here and there and "Voila" we have a

display cabinet for more family history.

 

The top shelf holds the afghans that my Mother-in-law

and our daughter, Jennifer have made.

The middle shelf has some quilts I made many years ago

as well as a quilt that my Mother-in-law made.

There is also an afghan that my Great-Grandma Daniels made.

That afghan must be around 65 or 70 years old!!! 

The bottom shelf is stuffed with quilts that my Grandma Gaddis made

and one that my husband Grandma Cummings made.

 

The awesome thing is I actually new each of these Grandmas and was able

to have spent quite a lot of time with each them.  I have been blessed with 

many fond memories and cherished wisdom from them. 

They along with my Mom and Dad are who made me who I am today.

 

Now this wonderful old cabinet and it's contents

has a new home next to the fireplace in my sewing room...

It doesn't get any better than that.

 

 

Hugs & Blessings,
