We picked up John's grandmother's china cabinet yesterday. Thank goodness it made it home in one piece because it's quite fragile.
Here's some history behind it:
Ruth bought this cabinet for her mother as a gift sometime during WWII with her first paycheck from Packard Motors. Her mother was really into dishes and had Fiesta. So, I'm assuming at one point its life, it was filled with the colorful pottery. However, sometime during the 1970's, Ruth's mother was involved in a car accident and passed away. Ruth got the china cabinet and Ruth's sister, Joyce got the Fiesta. I was informed today that when Aunt Joyce is done with the Fiesta, it will be passed down to us. I thought that was a nice gesture.
Here it is peeking out of the UHaul to see its new home after all these years:

Looks good full of Fiesta!
It looks just wonderful. And I love that a cabinet that once held Fiesta is now holding it again. It's so nice you have the history that comes with this piece of furniture.
