A neighbor bought one of the cases. While I was at our last quilt group get-together, Mary mentioned she was selling the remaining one and I said - I'm interested! We agreed on a price and I set up a date and time with her to have it moved to my house. That took place today.
Mary was rather astonished because my movers (Albuquerque Discount Movers) showed up early (that surprised me as well since I was still on the way to Mary's house when I got the call the movers were headed that way as well). She was also impressed at the efficient way they handled things. Apparently the neighbor's movers took well over an hour to get the first case bundled up and up the street to the neighbor's house. Mine were in and out and had the case on the truck in about 15 minutes.
I've now got it set up at my house. I do have one small problem. In deciding on where to put it, I'd neglected to notice where the doors on the cabinet are located. They're on the sides so I can't use the doors on the right since they're very close to a kitchen cabinet. I think I'll leave it there for a while. If having to put things in only on the left side begins to pall, I've got a Plan B location in mind.
Here's a picture of the cabinet with some of my cut glass in place.
I've had some folks (primarily at work) asking me if I'm done getting the house pulled together. I have to explain that my old house was about 1,000 sq. ft. The new house is a bit over 2,000 sq. ft. When I moved, I only brought over about half the furniture in the old house. So, I've filled in about 750 sq. ft. so far with a BUNCH more furniture to get. Since I've no desire to go into debt by buying a bunch of furniture, I'm spacing out my purchases. I figure it'll ultimately take me at least a year or more to finish my furniture buying. Spread out the fun, so to speak.
