The photo shows a small cupboard which is in our house-sit home. It would be very old and has fancy glass doors. There doesn’t seem many antiques in the house but I do like this little cupboard.
The photo on the cupboard is of the two daughters. They are now teenagers and will likely break a few hearts in years to come.
Do you think they’d notice it missing if we smuggled the cupboard home? (That’s a joke)

We had a cupboard like that when I was growing up on the farm! Mom kept books behind the glass doors. They were her favorites and the ones I learned to read as I stood at her knees while she read to my youngest brother and I.

Unless it holds some sentimental value, the owners might even be glad because it saves them the trouble of donating it to some charitable org. I think it's too small to accommodate large items and better suited for knick-knacks. How old do you think it is?

I know it is just thinking and you or Vince would not take the cupboard. I know it was a joke. I have seen cupboards like that and they are very nice and full with dishes. I like it too but have no place for it so I would not try to take it from its spot.

I understand that. Since English is my Mother Tongue I understand what you are saying but others might not get it. I can just see you and Vince planning how you will get it out so others do not see. Will you be going back to that house again to house-sit? You could get in disguises and plan it.

A rather unfortunate placing of the covered cake dish...

Well, if you get Vince to paint a portrait of the cupboard on the wall….
I love the work in the glass doors! It is very beautiful, and you can see the craftsmanship, even in the photo.

@JudyEv — and it’s so much more expensive than cheap plexiglass.

I was just imagining them taking an inventory of what they left behind prior to you guys walking in as soon as they returned (lol)

@allknowing After the business with the dog, I don't think we'll ask them for a reference. But seriously we wouldn't anyway. We're not anxious for the work.

That is lovely, so pretty with the fancy glass.
We have an antique china cabinet, it is part of the dining suite that we inherited from my Gramma.
I keep my good china and crystal in it, and some mementos from 35 years ago today, our wedding cake topper is in there.
I don't think that you should attempt to smuggle that home, they would notice.
