Little Blue Chair

Well HELLO,

And a beautiful day

Hello to you.

I hope today is going well for you and your loved ones.

Are you settled yet, into August?

I don't think I ever settle into this month.

This is the month, I am trying to tie the

ends of summer because I start back to work.

I am a part-time Secretary at a

Elementary School here in town.

So in a previous post I mentioned I had a project fail.

Well, this little chair is the culprit.

But first a story about the little chair.

My great-Aunt found it for me,

My Grandma,  had a cute little chair like this one.

Many, many years ago I found my Grandma's chair in an old shed

at my Great grandparents place.

I ask Grandma if I could have it and she said "yes".

Well!

Before I could take it home with me

mt great Uncle decided to clean out the shed and

haul all the old furniture to the trash. . .

Oh No!

Not only was the little chair of my Grandma's in there.

There were many, many old antique 

Family Heirlooms.

I was heartsick, as many other family members were.

Fast forward to a few years ago. . .

My sweet great- Auntie remembered my 

Grandma's chair and she remembered how much

I wanted it.

She found a similar little chair at a thrift store.

It was in rough condition, but with some

tender loving care, and some pretty blue paint

I had a little blue chair like Grandma's

No, it is not my Grandma's chair, it is long gone.

But, the replacement holds it's own memories.

When my Granddaughter's were little they would pull this chair
up to the big round coffee table I have.

They spent hours coloring, playing games, and even having 

tea parties while sitting on this chair at my coffee table.

Well, as with all things, the little chair needed a "re-do".
That's when I took paint brush in hand
and gave her a couple of coats of

Behr Chalk Paint. Color is Durango Blue.

Then I used dark brown Behr Wax to give her the antique look.

The Granddaughters are all grown up now. (Tears)

But the Little (Blue) Chair will continue

to be useful and will be used.

Just in different ways, and then God-willing there will

be little Great-Granddaughters
and back to the coffee table the little chair will go

I believe furniture is not only needful and useful

But they also hold stories to tell and most of all

They have 

Sweet Memories.
