~The Candy Man Can~

Hello girls, Well I done did it...I got my new (old) cabinet....This cabinet is from 1895 and it's was a hardware cabinet at one time it would have had bolts and nuts in it...but not any more ha ha!! I bought it home on Friday and it became a Candy cabinet...Oh won't the little ones go nuts over this... (Pun intended)

Just look at how colorful it is with the candy in it...Can you love an old hardware cabinet Shelia...well you bet your bolts you can....( I bet you though I was going to say nuts) ha ha!!

I added one of my gum ball machine's to the top...

My Cracker Jack box....These boxes did hold loose "Cracker Jacks" many years ago these boxes would be in a rack and have an scoop...and you would just scoop out what you wanted from them...kinda like penny candy containers...

Look at the fancy handles on this cabinet...This cabinet came from Warren Hardware company..

The inside of the drawers...now you can see that the glass fronts are only so deep...You would fill the glass front and pull the drawer open to scoop out what you seen in the glass fronts...

Love the quarter saw oak of this piece...

I love the way it looks with my old Bin counter that I use as an Island in my kitchen...This bin counter is an 18 drawer one so it creates extra storage for me...plus gives me allot of working space in my kitchen...This counter is 8 foot long

The drawer side of my Bin counter...

One end with a few old crocks and feed sacks...Oh yes it's all about the old general store look in my kitchen...I have always loved this look...Maybe because it reminds me of a simpler time in our hectic world as we know it now and when I'm at home I want my home and life to reflect that time.... That and I'm spending my Kids inheritance ha ha!!

Just another corner in my kitchen...with my stroller high chair and a few more crocks...

An old grain scoop turned magazine holder...

Some of my Planters peanuts containers....This cabinet I had added in 1996...As I had ran out of room in my kitchen so I had the carpenter add this right between the studs...Hey where their a will their a way ha ha!! I have to tell you a funny story about this...I have a neighbor that every time we were adding on to this 1 room cabin would come right up here to see what we were doing now...Well at the same time we were adding this cupboard between the studs we were also putting in a new toilet in the outhouse bathroom...so we sat the new toilet inside this cabinet and when Jim came up here to see what's new ....I told him we were putting a toilet closer in the kitchen for me ha ha!! He left just shaking his head ha ha!! I can still see the look on his face...it was PRICELESS...He always tells me " Your Mama done dropped you on your head girl" If you would like to see my 1 room cabin click here.... Thank you all for coming by and seeing me...
