Our Bibles for Missions store is very lucky to have had one of their volunteers in the right place at the right time! Renovations at a local home (turned commercial space) on our main street would have seen this beauty demolished and taken to the dump if it weren't for a local man who was quick to save it!

| How great is this cupboard,seriously! |
It was built into the library (board room) and had to be carefully removed,transported, and reassembled in it's new home. A fine example of 1850's quality craftsmanship.
I am working on getting more history of the original owners and will update when I do.
This is her original home
How I wish it was us that had been in that right place,at that right moment.
It would have looked so great in our shop for display,but I am just happy to know that it is safe and didn't end up in a landfill like so much of our history has.
I offered $2000 but they are not planning to sell it for a penny under $20,000 can't say I blame them one bit (although $2000 could buy a lot of Bibles..just sayin :P)

They will get tired of me coming to visit it :)
I did win 2 of the three antique silent auction items I bid on though. They went straight home. I will have pics of them soon.
