My mother works part time in an antique store and I have put her on the hunt for a cedar chest over the last year. One FINALLY came through the store. It’s small-ish but in very good shape. It just needs a good polish on the outside. I’m not sure where it’s going to live in our home but for now it’s in the basement. (Sorry for the crappy photos…winter time in a not well lit basement. Well you get the point)
This knitters heart is happy. I have a great place to stash my finished woolen items and woolly yarn! Hopefully this means no more dreaded moth damage…
How do you protect your precious items?

Happy New Year 2015!!!
Very nice furniture, i use plastic bags lol yours is way more nicer looking..
Love your chest. I have my stuff in plastic storage boxes with latch-on lids and plastic bags.
Beautiful! š
This is a lovely piece. I have my Great Gran’s but I use it as a “hope chest”, storing my knits in my bureau drawers with the rest of my things. I do keep vintage knits, baby clothes of my own and my children’s, wrapped in tissue in the cedar chest.
I have a cedar chest too, although not as special as yours since it’s not an heirloom yet. Everything comes out smelling so nice! I’m sure a good polish will make a huge difference and you will find lots of woolies to store in it.
Lots of plastic bags. Lovely cedar chest.
