New Treasures At The Cellar Chest

I try to drop in The Cellar Chest consignment/antique shop every couple of weeks. The other day, I took a few items, including several bolts of lovely designer ribbon, to put on consignment. The shop has a little of everything and there is a spot in the sunroom where you can find upholstery fabric and beautiful trim. I found some wonderful old Bakelite buttons on a recent trip.

Looking around, I noticed that the old cart from a factory in North Carolina had been sold. I really didn't have a spot for it in my house but I loved that rustic old cart. Darn it! Missed bargain. Oh well, there are many more treasures to be found. Lots of great furniture, antiques, glassware, dishes, art, collectibles and much, much more.

I spied the most wonderful outdoor chairs. Tania, the manager, told me that the six of them were from the Robert Redford Sundance Catalog. The picture above does not do them justice. They are all a rusty brown color iron. The steer skull in the center is a silver, almost pewter color. We couldn't figure out what the metal is. I am really thinking about these chairs. They are great. I can picture them with fat leather or cool western fabric cushions. I could even put two of them in my living room which is modern with a Western accessories.
