****Edit~I am entering an older post over at Emma calls me Mama, I do not have any new heirlooms to share, but feel like these goodies are worth sharing again!! Enjoy****
Happy Friday!! This week I am joining the heirloom party @ Emma calls me Mama.
I was so excited when I heard about the heirloom party because I have very recently inherited some family heirlooms from my mom. I have blogged about a couple of the new things, but I thought it would be great to combine them all here in one post for the party!!
Let's start with my new (gently used family) china. It is mostly still packed in the box, but I definitely have 8 place settings, possibly 12. I can't really remember. But I really like it and can't wait to get it all cleaned up and on display in my china cabinet!!
Here's a closeup of the detailing.
I also received this lovely silver tea set. I blogged about this stuff weeks ago, and YES, it still looks like this. I have not had a chance to sit down and shine this stuff. When I do, I'll share an after picture with you.
Last but not least, the chifferobe. I have wanted to have this in my home for as long as I can remember. This was in my mom's home when she was growing up. I remember that she would tell me the story of how she would hide in the door compartment from her older step brother & sister. I think they were pretty mean to her as a child! Bless her ♥ ! Two nights ago, my kids were playing hide & seek and Big10 opened the door up to take a look, but then decided on another spot! How about that, I guess that little door just looks inviting to children!
Originally I just kind of crammed this baby into the corner as you can see in the picture above.
Thankfully, after a little rearranging I have the chifferobe in place and I ♥ it!!
If you have linked over from Emma calls me Mama, thanks for stopping by!!I'll be by your place soon!

Have a great weekend!

Hi there. You are so lucky to receive those gorgeous pieces from your mom. I love that china! The colors are timeless, aren't they? That chifferobe is awesome too.
Thanks for coming to visit me.
Gorgeous chifferobe, it has such charm to it! It seems like a perfect place to keep other treasures!

Isn't it wonderful to have family treasures? We all have to teach our children to appreciate them.
What a beautiful piece of furniture! What was it's original purpose for? To store clothing, I'm a bit clueless about old furniture. It looks great in your living room. Your china is very pretty also and I can NEVER have too many silver pieces! Thanks for sharing everything and have a loveleigh evening.

Hello Tina - thank you for joining the party! You have some beautiful heirlooms. The china pattern is so pretty. And the silver tea set is fabulous just like it is! Of course I prefer silver tarnished. =) And the chifferobe is really neat. I love the wood grain pattern. And how fun to hide in! Like Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe! Such a beautiful piece.
Blessings,
Marie

I am enjoying seeing everyone's heirlooms. I love the chifferobe the best (never heard of that word before, but I love it).
my mom used to have a tea set that looked JUST like that...in fact, I think I have it packed away in my garage somewhere...makes me want to go hunt for it! :)
I've always wanted a tea set. It's amazing how expensive they are.
Beautiful piece in deed. And a place of safety for your mom. Thanks for sharing.
