Before I start my post, let me say that I am having a giveaway and you must enter to win on that particular post - dated August 15th.. Just click HERE if you have not already entered. If you don't have a blog, you still can enter by leaving a comment AND your email address on that post. Because I so enjoy having a new book to read, I thought it would be fun for someone to be able to order a new book for themselves. Maybe one that has been on your wish list....sound good?
Below are some photos of my new/old comfy chair that I bought from my wonderful friend, Sandi. Sandi owns a fabulous antique store in Escalon, California called The Green Pea. You can get also read up on the adventures of Sandi, and her shop, on her blog with the same name as her shop - The Green Pea Boutique
This is an old cut velvet chair that tugged at my heart strings when I first saw it. It reminds me of the flocked wallpaper that was in the home I grew up in. My mother was so proud of herself when she bought it and hung it on the wall all by herself.

The morning light steams in through the windows and makes this the perfect spot to drink my coffee and grab a quick read before starting my day.
We all need places like this, don't we?It is a kind of kick your feet up and get lost in a good book kind of a day.....

What a lovely place to sit and read a good book! The chair is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou sound content. Enjoy your day in your comfy cozy chair. Hope you have something yummy to eat with that cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteI too like the chair; and I love a good book and the time to sit!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a wonderful chair to curl up and read or day dream in....
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I want to know how often you have to negotiate with the Scotties to get a seat in your very own chair!
ReplyDeletenothing wrong with hippy dippy...
ReplyDeletewhen we went to the avett brothers concert the other night, my hubbie told me that i was ready to walk right into waukarusa {sp?}
i will only take it as a compliment!
;)
have a great day~

LOL Holly!! Fiona is the chair monger...Dughall prefers to lay on the floor at my feet. I am finding that the female scotties are more "needy" and like to be up on your lap and kissing you.
ReplyDelete:)
Looks like the chair is cozy and will be the perfect place to rest, dream and read.
ReplyDeletewell I think it looks as comfy as can be. And I hope that this finds you reading a really good book!!

love your chair...we had sculpted carpet in that pattern when I was a child...it so reminded me of my Mother's living room...solid, forest green carpet. I took many Sunday naps on that floor as a teenager, working on homework with my headphones on listening to albums of Boz Scaggs!
ReplyDeleteOk, as soon as I learn to pick locks, you may get up and find me reading the morning paper and drinking my cup of tea in your new chair! Of course, Fi will be sitting with me. Think you can whip up some blueberry muffins for us! Aaaahhhhhh!!!!........
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Becky. Oh I love your chair. My grandmother had one like it but hers was in a gray pattern. I loved that chair because like you say sooo comfy. I can imagine you sitting in your chair in the morning sipping coffee with your little ones near by. Charli sends them hugs ♥ I hope you have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great chair! I love comfy corners where you can read a good book!
ReplyDeleteAlarm? You didn't tell me there was an alarm!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun chair...suits you to a tea!! I actually made a little reading nook for me today also!! I am having a "stay in your jammies day"!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
LeAnn:)
Becky, I have a chair very similar to yours! My daughter had it in her bedroom, but then wanted to swap with one I had in the living room. And man, is it ever comfy! I love sitting in the old chair. It has short legs, so my 5'2" legs can actually touch the floor :-) Yeah!
ReplyDeletei looove little reading nooks!
ReplyDelete*please take a sec to stop by my blog! would love for you to vote for team boo... come and see. thanks!
What a perfect spot to relax and read!! I have several spots depending on the time of year- how cold I am- how much cat hair is on the one chair(Mickey definately has her favorite chair and of course it has to be the shabby chic white one!!)

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty chair! It looks like the perfect spot to read a great book and enjoy the day!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots

I think it's a wonderful chair, not hippy dippy at all (or does that mean I'm a little hippy dippy myself?)
ReplyDeleteI remember that wallpaper! In fact I've stripped off a few rolls in a house we used to live in. I do love to read and that chair looks like a great place to do it. Mimi
ReplyDeleteI actually HAD that wallpaper back in the early '70s! Love to read in a comfy chair! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat's my kind of spot ... near the window with light flooding in. TTFN ~Marydon
ReplyDeleteI love your chair, and yes we all need a nice comfy spot in our homes. You've got it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, Diane
It looks extra comfy and girlie, but I bet a cute Scottie curled up in it would make it look even better!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, the wee scottie
It does indeed look like a perfect place to have the first cuppa! With doggies at your feet I bet? :D I love it!

We have a chair that is similiar. I made a comfy reading spot with books, nice reading lamp...but Baby Girl our littlest dog claimed the spot. So be it! Now it is hers. I keep the latest issues of "Dog Fancy" on the ottoman for her enjoyment!
ReplyDeleteHello Becky, I really had a great time at your home. The food was good and the company was great...Yes, FI had a good time with the girls. Thank you for the wonderful blueberry/banana loaf you made for me. I am so happy that you are enjoying your table and chair. They did look nice in your home. Be well, Sandi
ReplyDeleteWhat a great chair! It looks really soft.
ReplyDeleteA lovely spot for a book!

Becky -
ReplyDeleteYour new chair looks like one you could just melt into comfortable bliss!! Love it! And I'll admit it. . .I'm a little jealous also, I have been dreaming of a comfy chair for myself, haven't found it yet. But I will keep looking :)
Toni
That chair is great..Ashlee would love it too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on the giveaway....I have a list for Amazon books. I did not want to pay the book store prices. It would be such a treat to win!!!
Hope to see you in Oct... for the Antique Fair on Clovis. I am planning a blogger Breakfast for those who can make it :)
Hope your Summer has been going well..I am ready for some Fall weather.
