Yard Sale Etagere

I found this sweet three tiered etagere at a yard sale Saturday.   It needed a little bit of repair.....

but I thought it was well worth the $3 sticker on it.   H fixed the broken ornamental piece that went on top and tightened the legs...good as new!

I had a vintage metal rolling cart on the side of the refrigerator (left photo) but I decided to roll it across to the other wall and put my new etagere in it's place.   (You can see where I moved the rolling cart in the left bottom corner of the picture on the right.)

Here you can see the pretty scrolled arms on the ends of the etagere.  

I decorated the shelves in my kitchen theme....cupcakes!

There weren't very many yard sales and NO auctions, so it was pretty slim pickings!   I did find some vintage pillow cases and an old cookbook.
 It was a beautiful crisp fall day so I really did enjoy just being outside!
