Quick story and a giveaway!
So first off, I am lame and forgot about the blog hop yesterday. So. . .since I didn't officially post about it yesterday, let's do it today (thanks to those who left comments anyway)! Leave one today and I will pick a winner on Friday to win an assortment of my new JBS goodies!
And Lena asked about the story behind the ONT spool cabinet. It is actually a really cool story! It belonged to my husband's grandfather whom I never met but wish I had. He died before Jared was even born. He apparently had gotten the cabinet from a friend/relative who owned a store. It has stayed in one of the barns for many years where it held tools, screws, etc. About a year and a half ago Jared's uncle was getting ready to throw it out when his mother rescued it for me. Of course I hyperventilated when I saw it.
We also have an awesome table we rescued from dog-shaving duty in the barn last year. More on that next week.
I know Uncle Joe thinks we must be crazy.

Love the spool cabinet story...awesome that it stayed in the family too :) Your blog is always a joy!
My parents had two ONT spool cabinets for end tables. The began collecting in the early 60s...when collecting that stuff was not considered cool.
:)
I have inherited many nice things from their collecting days.
I am hoping with all my fingers crossed that I can win some of your new product - it's luscious!

I've been to every blog on the hop because these products are absolutely GORGEOUS and I'd really like to win them! Thanks so much for the chance!
Thx for answering question. What a wonderful family story. Lucky for you to have people around that know you and rescue those treasures from being cast out. I have only one such find...a chinese checkerboard handmade by my Grandmother's father and given to me because I loved to play every Christmas with my Grandpa who always seemed to beat me. He passed on still as the grand champion. My Dad built a table for it to fit into as it used to have many years ago. Blog Hop took a while for me. Thx for doing it, fun to visit other blogs. LenaS

Your new collection is lovely. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I love to have a vintage item that has a story. All the vintage stuff I find is good, but something special from the family or if you have the history of an item, it is all the better! I have a wonderful hall mirror that was an old family item from the 1880's that my in laws used in the carport for 30+ years, because my mother in law didn't like "old stuff" in the house.
