~Isn’t She Sweet?~

I just had to have her, my own little make-do chair, I think she is so precious and she goes so well with my home…she was meant to be!!!

I love the patch on the seat of it and the black arms and legs, distressed of course:)

I saw her at The Country Store before Christmas and thought that if someone gave me a gift certificate I’d put the money to it to purchase her. Every time I’d go into the store I’d look at her and sigh, that’s how bad I wanted it.

Michele gave me a certificate but I had to wait till payday to get her, I walked in the store and GONE oh no!!! When I asked if they were going to get anymore in the lady, who was behind the counter bent over and came up with her in her arms saying “Here she is.” (that’s why I’m calling it a she) They had put her back behind the counter…

and now she’s mine:)

She stands at 23” and from arm to arm she is about 11” wide but so well made, she’s not made of plywood but wood… having her makes me think that I can do a much bigger make-do chair in the near future, I hope you like her. LOL

Well, I work today so I should start getting ready, I hope everyone is having a great weekend, we finally have warmer weather here in W. Pa. and the snow is melting!

  13. Oh Rondell sweetie...
    She is just about the sweetest little chair I have ever seen. I have so many little corners that need items and how wonderful a chair like her would be. I just love her. I thank you so much for sharing her with me today.

    I think I too would have purchased her. I hope you got a good price on her. Ofcourse when we want something it doesn't matter to us, we just want it. I can't wait to see a big chair made just like her. How exciting.

    Have a beautiful day. I know you were working today but hopefully you had a good one.

    Take care sweetie. Country hugs...Sherry

  14. Yes, she is very sweet! I'm sure you had the biggest smile when that lady came up with "her" in her arms. The patch on her is really cute and I like the way you have it displayed on your table. There's nothing like the feeling of bringing home something you've been wanting for awhile. Congratulations! Hehe!
