It is made of oak and glass and has 20 drawers with handles at the back. I have always loved these cabinets, they remind me of the haby shops I used to visit with my mum, who was a seamstress. You still find these cabinets in a lot of old shops in the UK. I owned a beauty when we were living in England, it was from an old lingerie shop that had closed down, but I had to leave it behind when we moved to Australia. Bah. But anyway, now I have a new one. Or I will do if it gets here in one piece. Watch this space!

The Early Bird
For the second morning in a row I have set my alarm for an indecently early time. Yesterday the reason was to go for an early morning walk with my friend (we are on a fitness kick), today was to win this lovely old haberdashery counter on eBay, which is going to have pride of place in our new shop.
