TAKE A SEAT ..........

What is your seat of choice ? .......




a chair .....



a day bed .....



 
with or without cushions .....



a sofa .....


















maybe a windowsill will suffice .....


or, a pew with a view  .....


how about a swing !! .....


or rocking in the sea .....


in the cinema .....


or with your best friend ?


lounging in your tux .....


or contemplating on a wooden bench .....


Rest assured that I shall be putting my feet up at some point today !!

Have a restful Tuesday.

    Hello Jackie:
    From the discomfort of the upright chair facing our keyboard at this precise moment, we can cheerfully say that positively any of the seats on offer today would be most welcome!

    Perhaps it would be a tight squeeze with the elephant, but lounging on sofas is definitely one of our preferred forms of activity any day of the week,not just on Tuesdays.

    The image of the 'Thonet' style chair in the hall, its curves reflected by the sinewy handrail, is hauntingly atmospheric. Just a glimpse and we are transported into the smokey bars of Paris, complete with louche women and penniless artists of times gone by......

    From the unattractive (but functional) desk chair in my office to you in your chosen place of repose--may YOU also have a restful Tuesday. I hope you know how much I appreciate the comments you leave for me. They always brighten my day, Jackie. You are such doll! The room with the crystals dripping from the bird's nest chandelier is pure fantasy. I'd like to spend a restful day right there!

    xoxo,

    Anywhere I can park my keister is my favorite seat..but my all time favorite, is/ was / and will always be at the foot of my kid's beds as they tell me stories about their lives before they go to sleep.. Even all grown up now when they visit here or I vist there, it is this nighttime ritual that makes my heart sing...

    I'd sit in any one of these awesome seats Jackie. I have a favorite chair in the family room/kitchen area. It is a chair and a half and it seats me and my little dog and Jackson the cat all at once :) It's funny...I have never shown a photo of this chair on my blog (probably because it's not all that pretty) aren't all the comfy things ugly?))

    I hope you had time to put your feet up my friend

    hugs from here...

    Jacqueline, give me a chair with a soft cushion where I can perch on the edge, always sitting straight up (because my grandmother told me a lady's back never touches the back). I really don't like to sink down into a soft sofa unless I'm alone (when it's heaven). This entire post is heavenly, like all of yours always are. You never disappoint, my friend.

    I will take them all, Jackie! My fave chair is a soft velvety over stuffed chair to curl up with a good book and a cappuccino, our big cushy sofa to curl up with Alex, a chair around my sisters kitchen table to chat with the family and another comfy and well worn chair at my sis' to hold all the babies in the family! Have a gorgeous and cozy evening! xxoo

    I want to sit right down next to that elephant and have a chat...so cute! We used to have a daybed that I dearly miss though...so that would probably be top of my list. Hope you were truly able to sit for a spell in *your* most perfect sitting spot!

    Now all I want in life is for a teddy bear to sit companionably by my side on a small office chair, in front of a small computer, just like that little girl and her little friend. I feel so lonely without one.

    While I do love an elegant chaise longue or a lacy, girly daybed, after miles and miles of walking, I was perfectly happy to settle for a curb during most of our England trip last week! What a fabulous time we had! Thanks for all your suggestions, Jackie. We spent our last full day in Hampstead, where I got a little weepy at the sight of the engagement ring Keats gave to Fanny Brawne. Sigh. xoxo Gigi

  34. Gigi Thibodeau15 March 2012 at 17:05

    Yes, Jackie, I've seen Bright Star, and it's one of my all-time favorite movies! Keats is one of my favorite poets anyway, but on top of that Campion's film is stunningly beautiful. Now that I've been to the house, I will positively melt the next time I watch it, which, by the way, will be tonight!!! xo g
