AN UNEXPECTED BIRTHDAY PRESENT!
A couple of weeks ago Mr JAB and I had a child free Saturday and we went to Daylesford for lunch to celebrate my birthday.  We decided to check out the Mill Market and whilst there I eyed off this lovely cabinet.  Mr JAB told me to buy it and he drove back to Daylesford the following weekend to collect it.  Lucky me.


I displayed some vintage tins on the top but I needed to hide the Wi Fi modem.  Hmmm..........

So I picked up a cheap frame.

And a pretty tapestry from the thrift shop.

Put the tapestry in said frame.

VOILA!  No more ugly modem in view.

And now to add my vintage china, some thrifted and some gifted.




That tiny rabbit in front of the deer belonged to my mum and is from her childhood.  The deer belonged to my great aunt.

These little ducks were a present from my dad that I have kept since I was about 7 years old.

A very blurry pic of my new cabinet in all it's glory but boy it is a lovely sight when I walk in the front door.

  1. How lovely and haven't you been spoiled with this; I love your china pieces too and had a closer look to see if any were same as my HUGE collection of (three!) little cup, saucer and plate sets, but no they are not.
    Wishing you belated Happy Birthday!
