Its all GO

This is the new cabinet that arrived early this morning in the pouring rain. Dried it out and put it together and finally found the switch for the lights on top. I had great delight in putting all our glassware and special crockery in behind the curved glass windows! The exquisite little antique teacups and saucers have never had a home.
Three good things:
1. More room in the pantry where theses articles were stored for over 2 years.
2. It was a maximum of 6degC (42.8degF) today but our fire kept us warm all day.
3. I discovered some old school photos and scanned them for publication on the Old Friends site. Also an old wedding photo of a niece in 1988 which provoked a heap of comments!
Oh wow! Gorgeous piece to display your treasures!

This is such a beautiful cabinet, Maggiemae. I love the lights in it. I have wanted something to display our special things for years. I love reading your three things. Such different weather there than here where it is so hot.
June 3rd, 2013  
Lovely!! I wouldn't mind something like that to display my stuff..they're just on open shelving at the moment.
June 3rd, 2013  
This looks really lovely and the lights are perfect.

@lynnb Our stuff was on open shelving for years, Lynn! Gets the dust on and difficult to keep clean.

@maggiemae Aha... ; )

Beautiful shot, love that cabinet, looks like some goodies on the side shelves!

@happypat The lighting was quite difficult to photograph - too bright and it was all flash, too dim and you couldn't see the inside!
June 3rd, 2013  
@brillomick At the moment we are leaving the lights on all the time admiring it, Mickey!
June 3rd, 2013  
And very nice too !! It didn't take you long to put your glass etc on display -& I do not blame you for leaving the light on to admire it !!
June 3rd, 2013  
This looks very sophisticated xx

Love that your lovely teacups get a prominent! Hope you use them too!!! Keep warm down there!
June 3rd, 2013  
I meant to say prominent place!!

@pennymilner There are only about 3, Penny but they are so exquisite!
June 3rd, 2013  
Lovely - just what I need! There are far too many things I inherited last year that are still packed away in bubblewrap for safety's sake!
June 3rd, 2013  
@kwiksilver These were in boxes for a year in bubblewrap then put on to the shelves in our new kitchen 2 years ago. I am so pleased with this unit!

It's beautiful! You filled it up and arranged everything so nicely! Now, the key is to not buy more new stuff!
June 4th, 2013  
i love display cases, china closets, anything that shows the treasures.
June 4th, 2013  
@vskolnik You are so right, Vee! Spoils the pleasure of going through a second hand shop, though!
June 4th, 2013  
It's beautiful, Maggiemae - and your treasures are just sparkling.
June 4th, 2013  
So beautiful!! I know you must be thrilled with this gorgeous new cabinet, Maggie...not to mention the additional storage/display space!
