My Pie Safe

I have wanted a pie safe for several years. My husband and I have looked at antique shops and found several but not in the price range or quality that we wanted. Last Christmas I found this new piece. It is a wonderful piece of furniture and was handmade by a gentleman in Pennsylvania. I love the bead board in the back, it really adds something unique and special.

I love it and play with it like a doll house, adding new things, rearranging, and planning new displays. My husbands tells me I am going to wear the hinges off it it opening it up so much! It may sound silly, but having this place that is just mine to plan and play with makes me happy.

Right now I have many of our family keepsakes displayed; the dough bowl and rolling pin that belonged to my husbands grandmother, her picture in an old frame on the bottom shelf, stoneware bowls, my Old Salem bisque houses, and other collected pieces. I recently bought several vintage table clothes that will be placed in there.

I found this cute white ceramic sign that I have hung on the front right now. You will probably see this piece again in future posts with other displays.

Show & Tell Friday

Its Show & Tell Friday over at Kelli's There's No Place Like Home. Drop by for a visit and see who else is there for Show & Tell.

Another very busy week, but I wouldn't miss Show & Tell!

Since it is so close to Valentines Day I wanted to step away from my usual heritage posting, and show you what I have displayed on my pie safe cabinet. I had these berry stems on my Christmas tree and tied them together with ribbon after taking down the tree. The little house is so cute with a felt roof and sort of red siding; I love the wire "smoke" coming from the chimney. Inside the jar I placed a small bouquet of red silk roses. The portrait is of my husband's daughter who passed away in 1977. I love all the red together!

I hope you all enjoyed my show & tell! Have a wonderful weekend.
