A Chair for Me.

Exhibit A. The chair I fell in love with.
Last night while on a trip to Macy's I was walking around the furniture department and locked eyes with this beauty. The photo doesn't give the chair (or myself) justice. Although I did nail a crane yesterday with my head, so I should give myself some wiggle room, anyway I'm getting off topic. Which brings me to the book A Chair for my Mother. My Grandma used to read this book to me when I was a kid and it's the cutest story. All of their belongings were lost in a fire, so they save all of their coins for a big, rose fabric chair and they get it! Ever since this book I have wanted an eccentric, fun chair, and I found it last night. Too bad it's 900 dollars on sale. Someday.

Ohh, that's right, I remember the name now cousin. Thanks for the compliment on the books, I'm still VERY new at it, but I had help. I'm going to leave a list of the books on your blog.

Lol, Kanoe. The best part was after swimming all day Grandma would bring whoppers and we'd sit on the lawn and eat them. The children's books were my favorite that Grandma read, but she used to make me read to her and I h-a-t-e-d it!

I never sat in it, was it even comfortable?? :) I wish you did have 900 dollars because that would look so cute in your front room!

You deserve the chair after the head injury you've been through.

I love that book too. So sweet.
