Chelsea Flea Market Find


Hello Friends!

i hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Two weeks ago my fiance and i were shopping at the Chelsea Antique Flea Market in NYC and
we came across this nifty little contraption called the U.S. Cook Stove Drier, introduced in 1893 and sold for $8.50! It was
used long ago by farmers to dry out fruit.

i love how unusual it is and how much character it brings into the room by using it as a side table.





the beautifully aged wood really warms up the room

i'll be back later this week to share my new coffee table!

Have a great week my friends!

until next time,
