What a great friend - it is wonderful

That is fabulous!! I wouldn't have to "find" the perfect place for it in my sewing room, I've already got one. I'd be glad to give it a home. Hee Hee!!! What a great friend to share such a unique gift. You are blessed to count her as a friend. I know you will enjoy it more because SHE gave it to you.

All he said was he got it at an auction a few years back and that it was a store display

Beautiful cabinet and the color is just great. All the detailing. I have seen these before and I would love one too. You have a very awesome friend to think of you when he decided to let it pass into your hands. Treasure it always.
