One day I should write about a little cabinet I own and the blizzard of when I tried to get it to my car along with my then 2 year old daughter!<BR/>Again, I ♥ your blog!<BR/>MarthaMarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002142282990616065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893089342864126901.post-81472279517166508122009-01-29T13:41:00.000-05:002009-01-29T13:41:00.000-05:00Connie--- Nice to meet you.

Kind of like houses--- It's never the house that looks great--it's the love that goes into it. I think the rustic things have heart and a soul. They are things "cranked out" in mass production. They are objects that stand the test of time... I'll definitely be stopping back by....

I like to think about the people who owned it before and how they looked and what they wore.<BR/><BR/>As I was reading your blog I'm thinking I've got to get to Aunt Daisy's then further down you mentioned Amy from StoneCroft Farm. I don't know if I told you but she order something from me at Christmas and is just the sweetest girl. Now that I know what's for sale at StoneCroft, I'm gonna have to make a trip there also ~ yum!<BR/><BR/>Your blog is just so nice...I love your words and pictures. They are inspiring. Someday you should write your own book...I think you would do very well.<BR/><BR/>Stay cozy and warm on this snowy/icy cold day.

That says it all. It epitomizes the mind set of those of us whose hearts are touched by an old object, often unexplainably in the minds of others. The best part of your post was imagining you up late after your guests had gone to bed...playing with the box and finding just the right spot for it. I've been there many times!<BR/> I always enjoy your posts and as I've said before, your photographs are spectacular!<BR/> Stay warm.

In my new found love of antique-ing I find myself wondering about so many old things, what stories are behind them all? Where have they been and how were they used. It struck me the other day when I saw a very old worn and tattered (very loved) teddy bear and I thought where has he been, who did he belong to and how did he end up here? Old things are so interesting. They bring back memories and stir up thoughts and cause us once again to think of the past. Such a wonderful gift from your friend. Take care. ~Sarah~~All Roads Lead Home~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12756208633923498205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893089342864126901.post-66316919817933726582009-01-27T17:07:00.000-05:002009-01-27T17:07:00.000-05:00Hi Connie!....the story behind the box makes it sp...Hi Connie!....the story behind the box makes it special indeed, and I love how you filled and decorated it.
