Tale of the Vintage Tea Cart



Ok y’all…so THIS may just be my favorite find! You just never know when you may run across that perfect piece. I happened to be at a local store buying paint for a project when I really didn’t have time to be there. I was already supposed to be back home, but I kept taking my time, wandering around and looking at any and everything. Finally, I went to pay for my paint and the woman behind the counter said- “I am so glad you came in here!” She then proceeded to tell me that a lady was about to leave and she had a really cute vintage tea cart in her car that she was about to go donate. WHAT?! She said, “Get out there and buy it from her! You can paint that and make it look so cute!” I didn’t even know what to give the woman, to be honest…but I went over to her and asked to see it, and when I did…it was LOVE. I mean, the true kind of love. I wanted it. I asked if she would take $10.00 for it, and she said SURE! I was ecstatic! I couldn’t wait to get it home and get it all beautified!

Now, even though it was love at first site…it still needed a lot of work. It was pretty rough, but with a little TLC, this vintage charmer would be so fabulous.
