Do you recognize that cabinet? Does this link bring it back to you? Yep, that is the cabinet that I got at the Big Flea, almost a year ago. Our kitchen project is wrapping up (sort of) and we've reached the part in which I get to pull out my vintage goodies & have fun. I'm sure that you recognize those suitcases from other posts & you can see one of the panels of the new curtains. I love the curtains! The old window treatment was a set of horizontal, cloth covered blinds that couldn't be cleaned...they were pretty awful by the time that I took them down.
Here is a close up of my cabinet...I'm so pleased with how it turned out....
All of the items in the cabinet are Big Flea finds, aside from the silver spoons that a friend got for me in Scotland. They are very old--probably from the mid 1800s and lovely, but I never knew what to do with them until now.

Yipppeee! Its a 3 day weekend! And, its my birthday weekend! How great is that? I've been excited for this mini-break since we returned from Christmas at my parents. Mostly I'm going to stay around the house, which has become a a real luxury for me in recent years. Also, Glenn is taking me out for dinner & a movie tomorrow night to celebrate my birthday and I may stop by an estate sale or two.

For any of you who may have been interested in my sister's postcard collection that I mentioned in this post, you should check out her recent post on her blog, in which she show examples and mentions where she got some of them. Oh, and if you read further on the blog, you can hear about how she just returned from a trip to the Christmas markets in Germany & then the south of France...if you weren't my sister, Terri, I'd be mighty jealous of you!
I hope that you all have a great weekend!
