Claudia's red tea cart

Apparently I am meant to have a little metal tea cart because they keep falling into my life.

When I was in Wenatchee this past summer a friend took me to this adorable little home decor shop, that was unfortunately closed on Sundays so I didn't get to go in.

However, in their front window among other fabulous items was a retro, red, 3 tier, metal tea cart.

 It was the only thing I noticed in the entire display.

 At that point I must have invited it into my Universe.

 I came home from my visit empty handed but thought of all the neat things I could put on this little cart.

 I needed to keep my eye out for one.

Flash forward 4 days.

Steve's Aunt Claudia calls us.

 Her mother passed away and she was getting rid of a few items sitting around her childhood home.

 She came across some baking pans, dishes, misc items she thought I would like and also, a little red tea cart.

 She says" I don't know if you want this old thing, but it might go with your " retro" theme kitchen or something"

As she is talking, I am jumping up and down on the other end of the phone" I'll take it! I'll take it!" I told her.

 She dropped it off at my house and it's perfect.

 I love it.

Right now it is serving as a mini buffet in the

 dinning room.

Maybe a week after I got the cart from Aunt Claudia, my mom called.

Her and my dad went on a trip down to the ocean for the weekend.

They were antiquing on their visit

 ( More like mom was antiquing and dad was walking behind her looking for records)

 and they came across this cute little red tea cart and thought I needed it,even though we had never discussed anything about it before.

To which I replied, I already have that....exact...same...cart... (in red even!)

but she was correct in her assumption that I would want one!

Weird.
