Pie Cabinet in the Hallway…

Between the kitchen and the Master Suite, is a hallway.  It was a fantastic place for the pie cabinet to find it’s place here at Fishtail Cottage ~ it hosts cook books and my collection of scales that I started a few years ago…

The cabinet was found in a local boutique here in Washington, but the story that was told about the cabinet was just too cool to walk away from.  In a little village in Guatemala, this piece was made by hand by one of the locals.  During the staining process a dog walked across the wood – leaving a paw print in the stain (so cute)!  and on one of the inside doors, an outline of what looks like a person with a bird flying above …I really am wondering what it is; any thoughts?

 

The Cabinet was hauled all the way back here to Washington State to be sold along with several other pieces ~ but this one truly has the character and charm I love seeing every single day in my home!
