New consignments have arrived...some momentarily!

Eileen and Yvonne had a lot of fun this morning rearranging everything to make room for another big, new consignment. When the truck arrived in the mid-afternoon, the new pieces had barely come through the door when alert shoppers snatched up about half of them. We love it when that happens!

Here are some of the interesting and beautiful items that remain for your consideration...
(Please see our craigslist ad for current pricing and availability.)
  .
~ This beautiful, mahogany-toned, wooden china cabinet is relatively new, in excellent condition.
Graceful lines, subtle carving. 5'7" wide x 19" deep x 7' tall.

~ The vintage wool blanket is probably from the 1930s.
It's 62" x 78", thick and warm. The pink roses are in reverse pattern on each side. 

.
~ We have a 1999 art calendar from Teatro Italiano featuring 12 prints of Commedia Dell Arte' characters in period costumes, suitable for framing.

. .
~ These 6 Chinese plates have beautiful floral patterns in an aqua palette.
The plates come in pairs, 8", 9" and 10". Discount available for multiples.
They make a stunning display on the vintage cherry-wood china hutch that came in last week.

This Lewisburg hutch can be see in this craigslist ad: http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/hsd/3022604082.html

Thanks for looking! We hope you'll visit again soon. 

Come for tea and shop for a treasure.

On-site painters and tea drinkers...fun :^)

I think we had more tea drinkers here today than ever before. That was fun :^)
And it was extra fun to have Pamela sketching and painting at the far table, having scoured the room for items to make an interesting still life. Hope to show you the finished work someday. Meanwhile, here's my favorite of the paintings she's brought in so far:



Thinking of joining us for some tea and treasure hunting? While you are looking for your car keys or bus pass (although it might be hard to take home the treasures you find via bus), take a sec and enjoy a preview of some of our newer consignments at The Living Room:
