Simplicity in Hoosier Form





This beauty was in my paternal grandmother's house. It was built into the wall and was painted that lovely green color of the 30's. We are still working on restoring her. She is in my livingroom and holds all my treasures. After my grandma passed away, we went to her house to say goodbye to it. (They were tearing it down) This little cabinet was hidden under a bunch of stuff, but it just seems to call my name when I walked by it.

It takes me back to the simplier times when my Grandma must have prepared meeals using the porcelain top to mix bread perhaps. She used it in later years to store treasures as I do. I visit it every once in a while, to take me back to where I come from and where I need to be going.
