A beautiful cabinet and a blogger award~!

Good morning ~  A little while ago, when I first started blogging, I showed a rusty old cabinet that Mr. Vintage and I purchased at a yard sale.  The poor thing ~




As you all know, Mr. Vintage is a very handy man to have around.  He worked and worked on this cabinet and now I MUST show you ....








It turned out beautiful.  I am going to use this cabinet in my laundry room~ I am so blessed ~ and speaking of blessed, Sabre at Heirloom Gypsy gave me the versatile blogger's award ~ thank you Sabre ~!  I am sooo thrilled.




Now, I must list 7 things about me...

1.  I LOVE to garden and can hardley wait for warmer weather~!
2.  I Love to cook especially out of vintage cook books.
3.  I Love to go thrifting, well, that's no surprise ;-)
4.  I Love to bake treats for my family
5.  I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Mr. Vintage.  He's the BEST
6.  On my quiet days I love to sip tea and read magazines ~ Flea Market Style, Victoria, Romantic Country Home etc.
7.  I am absolutely stunned at how wonderful all of you bloggers are ~ you are all so sweet ;-)

Now 7 Bloggers which I think deserve this award:

1.  Shells Shabby Shack
2.  Acorn Hollow
3.  French Buttons
4.  The Summer Kitchen Girls
5.  Izzy's Acres
6.  1942 Charm
7.  Rusty Rooster Vintage

Please visit these very talented ladies and enjoy ~

I think Mr. Vintage should get an award for the gorgeous job he did on the cabinet ;-)

(((Hugs)))

  3. I am so excited over your cabinet, because I have one that looks exactly like yours.... before it's redo sitting in my barn. Hubby brought it home and I didn't really think I could do anything with it but use it as storage in the barn......but I am now inspired to bring it back to a beautiful life!
    Also thanks for visiting my blog and becoming a follower! I enjoy sharing my farm life and ideas with others.

  5. What a darling, little cabinet. Mr. Vintage did a great job. I think I need to look for a little cabinet for my laundry room. I've wondered what I want in a small space - thanks for the idea!

  11. Congratulations, Marianne! For the award, AND for that fab cabinet. I'm so impressed! When I was in grade school I was always fascinated by places I read about with snow because it is so unusual here. I hope you can get to your garden before too long!

    Wow, what an amazing job your hubby did on that cabinet. I love vintage pieces like this. It will be perfect in your laundry room. Lucky girl! I can see it with clear glass vintage jars with laundry soap, etc. Very cute!

    Congrats on the award! You're so much fun to blog with and I appreciate you sharing the love:) Your family is lucky to have you... cooking, baking...mmmmmm! I can't wait to start gardening, too. I'll be stopping back with questions, I'm sure.
