Your story about your antique cupboard is similar to mine. In 1969 I saw a cupboard I fell in love with at an antique show in the nearby mall. I mentioned it to my husband, but knew we could never afford the asking price of $150. A few days later I heard a ruckus back by our detached garage of our little cape cod style house, so I looked out the window and there were 2 men unloading the desired cabinet! Our anniversary and both birthdays are within days of each other and were coming up soon, and my sweet, sweet husband somehow managed to purchase the cabinet as "our" gift. We have moved several times, and it has found a special place in each home. Ususally it's been in the kitchen, but a couple of times, like you, it's ended up in a dining or family room. Isn't it nice to have special pieces that bring back special memories! :-) <br /><br />google won't let me post this comment, so have changed to "Anonymous"........Judi A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953277467684839302.post-38786279989519588122011-05-31T22:49:56.530-05:002011-05-31T22:49:56.530-05:00What a neat story about that cabinet!
