I want a pattern cabinet

For over a year now I have wanted a pattern cabinet.  I am not picky about the style or manufacturer, just crazing organization.  My current set-up is labeled shoe boxes on a huge shelf.

You have to be fast to get one of these.  I guess Joann's sells the newer models once in a while when they "upgrade".  I found one like this on Craiglist last summer for $50 and immediately called, but it was already gone.



I also found this gorgeous antique Butterick cabinet, already sold, on the internet.



I don't know how long it will take, but I am determined to find one of these!  If you have one, please share and if it's for sale, please let me know!  There is no telling how far I may travel to get my hands on one.  You know how it is when you are totally obsessed with something!

Also, call the local shops to see if they have a discard on hand.

I have 2 vogue cabinets I am going to post on Craig's list. I'm pretty sure I am too far to pick up from since I live in Modesto California. If I lived closer they would be yours!

My mother has a large sewing cabinet for patterns. It is about 4 ft wide and has about 5 drawers. It has a tilted top (where the pattern book would sit), and on the top back there is a compartment for storing things. She lives in Southwestern Pennsylvania, and is interested in selling it at a yard sale this weekend.
