Tuesday's treasure and a finish

I like the idea of remembering things I am thankful for so I am linking again to Melody's Tuesday's treasures here.  I have chosen a corner of my bathroom ... I had an awful bathroom for many years so I was incredibly thankful when it was 'done up' a few years ago ... and this corner of it has many treasures.
We bought the antique corner cupboard, it was just the right size (small) for this spot.  I made a curtain for the bottom half to hide all the unattractive but necessary cleaning products.  Paul bought me the beautiful wash bowl and jug for Christmas a couple of years ago and a dear friend bought me the white heart.  Each time I enter the bathroom this little corner makes me smile!
I picked up my little cross stitch today on the way home from work ... all framed so it is now finished!
Me and Thee, source unknown
Stitched on 32ct linen with Cottage Garden thread No 504, Lilli-pilli
It will eventually hang in the main bedroom, but as most of the wall paper is stripped at this stage it wouldn't make a very nice photo!  One day ...
Thank you for visiting, happy stitching.  Wendy

    what a lovely cabinet. Lovely to have found your blog. The colours you have used for your boys story quilt blocks look fantastic. So warm. I am doing the quilt too but mine is in bright fabrics.

    I have not seen a petite bowed cabinet. Grandmothers in my family had giant ones for their best dishes and figurines. You have a real treasure there. To be able to use it in the bathroom, and hide all the necessary but less attractive items, is genius!

    You did a nice job framing the X-stitch. It looks made for each other.
