This corner of my dining room is filled with pieces passed down to me. The golden pie cupboard, that's what my mom always called it, aka, pie safe, once warmed pies in my great grandmothers home. The piece was custom and I'm now wondering if it was a wedding gift made by a handy carpenter family member.
The cupboard was later bestowed to my grandmother, then my mom and now me. I've actually had it for many years now. It has been moved many times over the years, but still remains in perfect shape. It even has the original glass.
It's warm patina and little holes in the sides make it one of my favorite antique pieces.
Knowing warm homemade pies once sat on its shelves while little boys and girls sneak by to take a peek possibly thinking they could get a tasty sample while still warming. I'm sure my great grandmother always placed them on the top shelf!
I have never used it for cooling pies. I appreciate its functionality for storing my china and odds and ends.
The little wooden safe is one of my favorite things in my home. In the weeks to come I will share a few more favorite corners of my home.
PROJECT MANY at Bittersweet. Translation: Numerous ideas and mind spinning with those thoughts that my hands can't possibly keep up!
I'm creating a new line of products, but it's hush, hush until the final prototype is finished.
Next post The new ruffle attachment I purchased for my sewing machine is ronderful! Definitely need to share the highlights with you. It took me several hours to figure it out and I found little help on the Internet. So I believe there's a need for good instruction and tutorial on the subject of ruffles.
Here's a picture of the ruffle testing facility.
Enjoy caring and sharing days.
