Vintage Tea Cart

Hi All,
I'm sharing with you tonight one of my favorite furniture pieces in the Cape house. I love my Early American maple tea cart. I found it about 4 years ago in a used furniture store and it was in mint condition. It now sits in the dining room. A picture of Granny graces it, and a family picture of my parents and me, and another of my Dad and his two brothers, hang above.
A closer look...

    That is a very nice tea cart. I have always liked Early American furniture, but never owned any. Mine is just wild mixture.

    A tea cart is one of those things that you don't miss if you don't have one, but when you have one you find 100 uses for it! I have one from my great grandmother, and I use it regularly.

    I've always loved tea carts. I had a wicker one for many years, but I got rid of all my wicker when we moved here. Yours looks perfect in that spot!

    I've always loved your pretty tea cart. Thanks for sharing it with us.
    Hope things are good with you. I've been really busy doing grandmother things and haven't visited as much as I like.
    hugs, bj

    Robin,
    I found you through Susan at Ash Tree Cottage and just had to comment on your beautiful home! It reminds me of a home you would find on Prince Edward Island. Happy to have found you!
    Have a wonderful weekend!

    This is such a fantastic piece!! I LOVE it! I walked away from a tea cart in Salvation Army in the summer that was a mere $25!!! I have been kicking myself for not buying it ever since!!

    Hugs,
    Debbie

    It's a quaint little piece, Robin. I'm sure it must be even more enjoyable for you with all that family love gracing it. ;)

    Thanks for linking to the party.
