Royal Port's Fall Inventory is Showing its True Colors this October!

This is a fun time of year to display new inventory in the shop.   The hues of Early American Antiques and Primitives echoes the colors of the Fall Season.   The October Album is up for your viewing with new architectural pieces, furniture, treenware, ironware and more.   A few of my favorite setups include this primitive industrial cart on castors.   It has a nice 2 board top and is a great height for food prep.  I added a dough board to create a shelf for extra storage.   The colors of the hand woven splint basket, early yellow ware and treenware and the iron balance scale add to the table's appeal.   It is all about the Primitives this Fall.  I also love this primitive 3 board top farm table with a grain painted base.   Adding baskets and wooden ware along with a painted chair creates a nice simple setting.  See what else is new in this month's album.   Don't forget that the Royal Port will be hosting the 5th Annual Walking Ghost Tour of Salem City on Friday Evening, October 28th at 7:00 pm.  All sales benefit the education department of the Salem County Historical Society.   We still have tickets available at the shop.   Have a great Fall Season.  Suzanne
