I bought this hoosier-style cabinet at an auction today.   Only $60 bucks... I think it was a steal but my hubby thinks I was had... And, my daughter-in-law just offered me $100 for it as is.   I am excited to 
start refinishing it!




It is in pretty good shape.   Obviously it needs stripped and there is a broken glass panel, and the large drawer is worn out. But the flour bin is in excellent condition and that is a major plus!!!

I also got lots and lots of fabric, quilting notions, etc. And in the bottom of one of the boxes was a new Black & Decker iron!!!  Whoo-Hoo!!!!

....last day of school.  Well, it was actually a 1/2 day of in-service.  I sure will miss my 'Snicklefritz's' but I have a very busy summer planned.    Chase will be with me most of the summer- at least until his baby brother is born.   My landscaping will be done soon and I will be in the gardens and beds as much as my back will allow. And of course there are quilts to be made and puppies to love!!!
I have a number of BOM's and quilt alongs started, but I found another that should be fun,easy, and make me more honest in my piecing.   I have a tendency to take shortcuts and make up the rules as I go, but with this one I hereby promise to follow all the rules/steps!   LOL
