Green Chair Green Basket


The green chippy chair I found for three dollars and a wicker green funeral basket (this one still has it's galvanized liner)  filled with dried hydrangeas from our Nikko Blue are now in front of the sunny bay window. The green chippy chair makes every item I place on it look better. The chair is one of my favorite thrifty finds.



A large old basket with handles happily sits beside the chair. Somehow I must pile items in front of the bay window. I often place throws in the basket but spring is here and we no longer need throws. I snapped these images today because I actually dusted, vacuumed, and mopped the floors. Shelley's hair gets in every nook and cranny but he is Big&Sweet and I really do not mind.

Yesterday CC and I stayed out all day and I never picked up the laptop. We ate Vietnamese food for lunch which is our favorite Asian food and then we shopped at a large Asian market. If CC is home that is simply what we do. The schedule for the week is full, full, full.



joy and peace

  4. I'm so glad you are having a great, busy week with CC. Mother and daughter relationships like yours are to be admired.

    Your chair is so cool. I love old, choppy chairs, they are the best for displaying our treasures. I have a few scattered around. I'm sure you will find a great use for the basket, maybe something colorful this summer.

  14. The green is so refreshing! And to be able to pop out for Vietnamese food: what a treat! No Vietnamese restaurants in little Juneau (or even littler Douglas!), I'm afraid!

  34. Love your old chair! It has a lot of charm with the layers of paint on it. I've never tried Vietnamese food before. I heard there are a lot of good places like that to eat in Norcross off Buford Hwy. I remember Anthony Bourdain touring that area and eating some of that food saying how good it was.

  35. That funeral basket is beautiful, Olive! I love the tall narrowness of it. It does look great on your green chippy chair! I can't wait for my hydrangeas to show some signs of life.

  40. I love all your latest posts here and above. Just love the green chair. Uh. I wish I had it! You did an incredible job on the black table and if I strutted black, I'd get it. Anyway, my little room wouldn't hold it. I'd trip over it and break a toe. I have done than you know, many times. You are so popular that you probably no longer have time for my little posts. I do miss our talks and your visits. One day I'm gonna pop over and go to church with you. I've been visiting around.
