My china and china cabinet pictures

Posted on Sunday, January 13, 2008 at 09:31

I am so proud of this china cabinet and the china in it.  It was gifted to me by my mother.  I helped her collect alot of the Apple Franciscanware.  As you can see I have alot of it on display, but in the cabinet doors underneath there is ALOT more that I just don't have room to display.  My favorite piece is the antique cookie jar on top of the cabinet.  Most pieces are in perfect condition.  A few are barely chipped and I am hoping at some later date to replace those.  Mom was trying to collect a setting of every piece in the set available for 12 people and had almost done this before her death earlier this year.  It is a gorgeous collection of antique (no pieces are reproduction) Franciscan.

I have enclosed a few pictures for you.  As you can see the gorgeous reproduction antique highchair is sitting in the dining room next to my china cabinet.  My mom gave this as a Christmas present to our son Noah last yeqar for Christmas.  We have received so many compliments on it!!!  Isn't it pretty???

God's Blessings,

Amy Jo

How beautiful and treasured memories of your Mom that will be passed on .

I remember Moms treasured dishes came out of a box of soap (Tren I think), what a collection, we have none left, cheapwear : ( but we sure got memories : )

Thanks for sharing, your display is perfect
