But wandering a small town antique mall about 30 miles from our house, we found one! It was marked originally at $349, but the price was crossed off and $339 was written on it. Bob saw how much I loved it, and the price on it, and went to the desk. He offered $250 for it. I thought that was a bit low, but once he said it, I figured all they could do was say no. Well, the seller accepted his offer! $250 for a gorgeous Hoosier! I am in HEAVEN! I was about in tears I was so happy that Bob bought it for me. He is funny...he says it's my money anyway since I'm the bread winner and he is my stay at home hubby, but I consider it ours, not mine. He said if I hadn't been with him, I'd have bought it anyway. But I don't think I would have...he has taught me that it's okay to pamper myself once in a while, and this obviously is a piece of furniture that will last. I was in tears I was so excited and happy....and Bob was in tears just watching my reaction!
Wanna see it? Now remember, all the goodies on it were also for sale and we didn't buy those, just the cabinet. So look past the extras to the bones of the piece. But the funny part is....if you can see a yellow bowl in the cabinet....it is a set of 4 Corelle bowls from the 1940's and 1950's....and I have that same exact set! They were my mother's and I still use them regularly.
