Sitting comfortably........soon

Remember the odd dining chair (that's 'odd' like in there's only one, bought as an orphan years ago) that sat in a corner awaiting a visitor or an extra dinner guest now and then?

Even Artemis, Greek goddess of the hunt, kept looking askew at it stuck in the corner of the upstairs landing.

By the way, this Artemis was another recent great find at the Sleepy Poet in Charlotte, NC. You may remember the miniature bust just like this from ScreenDoor in Asheville, the one that found a home on my mantel. This new beauty is large and was waiting to come home with me...............and at 50% off how could I pass her by and leave her in that booth which was probably going out of business. She may have been tossed aside, chipped and cracked, unloved, with no chance of being admired in a special place. DH sighed, gave me that look, you know........good grief not another Greek moving into the cottage..........then gently wrapped her in a blanket and tucked her safely between our suitcases in the trunk for the ride home.

Anyway I digress, this post was to be about this odd chair. You may remember I painted it and sent it to the upholsterer with French hemp grain sacks and smokey blue-gray velvet. This chair, with fresh paint and a new dress, is now ready for a permanent spot in the dining room.

Tomorrow I'll let you peek.....................tonight I'm sloshing about in tissue paper and covered in glitter as I unpack, unwrap the Christmas baubles, so must away and get going on the decorating.
