Hoosier Daddy?



Well I was surprised by my husband Saturday morning, we got up early and drove to the valley. He said he found my Christmas gift on Ebay and couldn't wait til Christmas to give it to me.

It needed some work and he lovingly labored on this gorgeous piece.
He hammered, he sanded, he stained, he gave it a lot of much needed TLC
There is NOTHING he can't do and he ALWAYS takes his time.
And when he was done.......


I was a VERY HAPPY wife!! Isn't she beautiful? It's a 1920's Hoosier.
A place for me to display all my vintage lovelies!

I spent all day playing with my new "bake center".
He took me to a little antique mall after Sunday breakfast and found this adorable rooster lamp.....looks so sweet next to my

"Hoosier"


He makes me feel like a beautiful queen, and there is no mistaking that he is the King of My Heart!

SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR INDEED!

Fall decorations are down, packed away and Christmas totes are on their way out of my shed......

Back to work tomorrow,

Debbie

Wow, what a sweet man you've got there. That hoosier is beautiful and what a great use for it as a baking center. I have been decorating for the last couple of days and took two days off to finish up this week. Have a wonderful week, Patty

What a beauty your new hoosier is. And what a man you have there! I have to tell you.....it pains me to say this.....but a few years back, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and needed to get rid of some of my pieces! I had my middle daughter and her son move home for a bit, and I was really drowning in furniture. But I also foolishly allowed my Mom to talk me into getting rid of my fabulous hoosier! And my pie safe, and an antique sewing machine. 100 dollars each. Isn't that enough to make you ill? I have never gotten over it! NEVER will either. You enjoy your pretty new hoosier!!!
