New China Cupboard

I finally had a few minutes today to take new pictures of my lovely china cabinet. Donnie bought this for me for Christmas so I would have a place to display my china. He had a small cabinet already on the wall with some nice transferware in it , so I had to find a piece that would fit in the allotted space. I ran across this while out junkin a few weeks ago, measured it to make sure it would work and asked Santa very sweetly if I could have it. He said I could!

It works very well, there is plenty of drawers and doors to store other things and I am using the drawers to place my linens in. My china is Old Country Roses, by Royal Doulton. I have had this pattern for many years. I spotted this pattern when I was about 10 years old in a dept. store. I instantly fell in love with the red and yellow roses and the gold rims. After many years, I started buying a few pieces at a time until I had enough to serve my family. I am so happy to finally have it out to use again. It has been packed away for the past 7 years. I have had alot of fun, putting it in the cabinet, arranging and rearranging. Isn't so much fun to play house??

Here are a couple of items I inherited from my mother. The sewing machine belonged to her when she was a little girl and the washing machine belonged to her sister. I have had these for many years and brought them out today to put in the kitchen for display.

I Love my Little Chef Oven!

And my red handled cookware!
