Hoosier Cabinet Love...


 
Good morning! For many years I have wanted an old Hoosier cabinet, so when I recently came across this one, (which dates to the early 1930's),  at a local antique shop, I knew that I just HAD to have it!! My sweetie picked it up for me on Friday afternoon, and it now has a new home in my craft room. It is being used to house my old canning jars and crocks which hold crafting supplies such as buttons, brads, baker's twine, etc. (My Big Shot die cut machine fits perfectly under the roll top section of the cabinet, and the enamel top makes a fantastic work space for cutting out dies.) This Hoosier has LOTS of storage space and is the perfect addition to my craft room...I just love it so much!!

The giant letter "B" was also purchased at the same antique shop...I plan on decorating it at some point, but for now it has a place of honor on top of my Hoosier! :) If you are ever in the Tulsa Metro area, I highly recommend that you take a little side trip to Bixby, OK to Bird's Eye Treasures antique shop. It is located just south of 151st on Memorial. They are open:

Thursdays: 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Fridays: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Saturdays: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm
Sundays: 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
 
Every time that I pop into their shop I find the most unique things...it has become one of my new favorite stores! (You can check out their store on Facebook by clicking HERE.)

Thanks for dropping by my blog today! Be sure to check back in a couple of days, as I'll be sharing a pattern that I created to make a "Miss Hootie" pillow...here's a sneak peek of this cutie:


Have a blessed week!

  1. I LOVE Hoosier cabinets and I am so excited that you got such a beautiful one! I keep an eye out for them, I found one a few weeks ago at an estate sale but they had a very high price on it. I left a bid but didn't get a call back... Now I remember it as "the one that got away." :)
