This is a great little chair that just gives you a big hug when you settle into it. Small scale chairs are not an easy thing to find. There is a plethora of big, hunky, "Edith Ann" can't touch my feet to the ground chairs but demure, comfy chairs are not as plentiful. So when I find them, they are added to my stable of favorites.

This may sound ridiculous but I bought and read this book a couple of years ago and have been surprised how often I have cited the book since then. Just today, a fabric rep came into show me what's new from them. Now this manufacturer has always dealt with many natural fibers like cottons, silks, wools to name a few but my heart leapt when I actually saw a polished cotton. I drooled, the thought of once again being able to show and sell beautiful glazed cotton chintz, came instantly to my mind, The rep said that yes, it appears that glazed cottons might be the next trend to return to the showrooms. Linen is beautiful, I have always used plenty of them but glazed cottons hold such special memories of English and French Country floral prints. Count me in, I will be showing them again. Hopefully soon! Meanwhile enjoy the book above, fascinating history, how a simple little cotton seed has changed history.

Spring time is around the corner! I promise!
It's coming, I know it is because I saw a robin in my very snow-filled backyard last weekend. If he is brave enough to come home to Michigan, it has got to be true. With Spring, comes spring-cleaning, I remember that was my grandmother and mom's mission in life come March every year. Walls were washed, windows cleaned, draperies taken down and aired out, carpets cleaned, rugs beaten- do any of us do this anymore? I know that I have never washed a wall except for that time when my daughter was little and painted a mural on her bedroom wall with markers. She is now 26years of age and will undoubtedly be doing that someday for her childrens' masterpieces. Spring for us nowadays usually involves fresh paint or wallpaper to spruce up a space. In my studio, I have just painted a couple of accent walls, one in a bright green from Sherwin Williams SW 6423 ryegrass and bright turqoise from Sherwin Williams SW SW6486 reflecting pool. Both have created a lot of interest here in the studio and definitely a nice bright reflection of Spring to come. What an easy step to making a room feel totally different fresh and new! All for the price of a gallon of paint!
