One cart, two ways.........

Happy Memorial Day! Hope you are having a wonderful holiday with friends and family. Today I would like to recognize and thank all of the men and women who are serving our nation and honor those who have given their lives protecting our freedom.  Thank You for your service and dedication.

I picked up this great folding metal cart last week and I thought I would show you a few options on how you could use this. This is one of those pieces that could be used for so many different things.  The first way I'm going show you is by using this as a drink cart. Stack up the top shelf with glasses and use the bottom for bottles and cans.  I also added a white chippy paint stool and the bamboo ice cooler.  The old door was used as a backdrop for this table and the pink and gold pedestal vase was added for some color.  Here's the first option...











 The second option I'm going to show you is by using this at a party for favors and goodie bags.  Use the top shelf for party favors and the bottom shelf for goodie bags.  This cart works well to keep the goodie bags separate from the other gifts and it creates a movable station that can fit anywhere.  Here's what the second option looks like.
















All of metal ware, marble pedestals, pitcher and glass beaker are available for rent in addition to the other items mentioned above.  So many possibilities with this cart, these are just a few suggestions.  How do you see yourself using this cart?

Hello there.........

Hi there and welcome to The Borrowed Flea blog. Let me introduce myself.  My name is Tara and I love to shop for vintage items and make great spaces with them. For me, these pieces tell a story and I love to see them used in every way imaginable.  Combining my love for vintage and the looks they create, I started The Borrowed Flea.  The Borrowed Flea is your source for all things vintage for every occasion.  So, take a look around at the inventory and let me know what kind of event you are having and the vibe you want. I'd love to help you personalize a look that is all about you.  And remember, I'm always out there looking and gathering so check back often and contact me if you're looking for something specific.  I just might have it.  Here are a few snaps of what I've been doing lately.....
