On my way into the Petaluma Seed Bank the other day, I was stopped in my tracks while looking into the window of Chelsea Antiques. I have a real soft spot for 20th century Americana and this place has a lot of it. Here's a snippet of what I saw:
21 metal basket bookshelf, $780
I love everything here a little bit, but I love those two wire baskets with handles A LOT! $40/each.
I'm not quite sure what these adorable panels were used for, possibly scenery for a child's play?
This sculptural polar bear bookshelf really caught my eye! It's by the French company ibride and was on sale for $2400, marked down from $3400. Wow! I did some research on it when I got home and discovered it's just a few years old, released in 2009. I also found it new for $1800, if you're interested. ;)
I heart antique produce scales. Would love one in my kitchen!
Donkey and metal arrow sign.
Vintage carnival signs.
Zinc bottle carrier from France.
Not the best picture but I loved this rusted out old automobile grill. Sometimes the strangest things can make really striking and affordable wall art.

I was in this store- July 2013. I loved/ wanted so many items. Might make a day trip back to Petaluma to buy an item I can't stop thinking about even though the price is fairly high. This is by far the best antique/ retro store I've ever been to.
