I've had my eye on this chair for quite a while now. Believe it or not, I found it at a local nursery way back in the early Fall when I went to purchase my garden Mums.
It was 'LOVE' at first sight (sigh)!
There isn't anything about this chair that I dislike.
It has a beautifully 'aged' chippy finished on it!
The fabric is lovely. It's very neutral with a small stripe pattern.
I 'visited' this chair on several occasions. Do any of you do that when you're undecided about a purchase? I went back to the store three different times, driving out of my way with the intention of buying it. I would seek it out in the store and sit on it (to try it on for size) but the truth be told, I didn't need it so I held off. Christmas is NOT the time for personal frivolous purchases!
But then Hubs came to the rescue!!!!! He offered to buy it as my early Christmas gift (and because quite frankly, he was sick and tired of listening to me moan & groan about the chair). So back we went, and on a day where all the items in the store were 20% off, and the chair finally found its new home with me!
I finally started on my holiday decor this weekend. This is the first thing that came out of the tote! He was laying on top of the pile of decorations, waiting for his time to be displayed and SHINE!
He was a gift to me several years ago from my sister-in-law and he remains very special & sentimental!
Hubs does not like him. Maybe it's the not-so-friendly expression he wears on his face. When Hubs saw him hanging from my light he commented something like, "Oh no, not that thing again"! THING ... he is not a THING, he is a scowling jester! The holidays evoke so many memories (lol)!
I am so excited, tomorrow evening I will select the winner of my
It's not too late to enter if you're new to this blog. One more day!
GOOD LUCK!

I can see why you loved the chair and it was so nice of your hubby to buy it for you for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteI so love that chair too! I've been looking for a chair like that too. What a treat from a special husby. Thanks for sharing.
Toodlepeeps.
I just LOVE your chair! Your husband is so sweet to buy it for you for Christmas!

Lisa, the chair is beautiful. I guess it was meant to be yours, it was just waiting for you. Gotta love the extra $20 off too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat chair was made for a good book and cup of cocoa. It will be nice to sit in while opening the rest of the gifts from your hubby:>)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! If that is from Lakeside, I really really need to stop by there after work. The eye candy must be unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteLisa, that chair is absolutely gorgeous and what a perfect early Christmas present! It gives you the chance to enjoy it with all of your Holiday decor around it! :-)

Lisa, is that the chair you mentioned. It is beautiful. I can see you sitting in it and watching gifts being opened. I laughed about the grumpy jester. I used to have this nutcracker and it had the strangest look, one year I had to finally give in and just let it go...that was many years ago...it was the strangest thing. lol. thanks for visiting my blog today.
ReplyDeleteWhat an AWESMOME Christmas present! You are so lucky no one snagged that in the meantime. The white cabinet you have next to it is pretty amazing too...Do I see blue in the interior?
ReplyDeleteIn regards to your comment to me about my brain never resting....you called it. I swear it is actually a problem though that I could see myself needing therapy for one day. Even when I was sick with the flu over the holiday's, I was still in decorating mode.
BTW, I think the jester is kinda cute!
Take care,
Lisa
Hello Lisa, I love the chair! I also love that your husband was LISTENING to you...most don't! How thoughtful of him to give you this for a Christmas present! Love the fact that he bought it early so you can have and enjoy it!! xogirl! kathee
ReplyDeleteLisa! What a great early Christmas present! So cute that you "visited" your chair!
ReplyDeleteLisa lucky you! I love the chair and to find one that fits so perfectly! Early Christmas presents can be sooo fun!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh a little over your "story". A few years ago I came across an old mirror. It probably came off of a dresser but I wanted it for my dining room... to hang over my buffet. Well every Sunday before my son's home hockey game we'd go get coffee and zip through the antique store... I'd go by the booth with "my mirror" and visit it! Then one day, it was GONE! Christmas morning came and all the gifts were opened.. I have to admit I was a little disappointed that there was NO mirror. A little while later, my husband brought "my mirror" in... he figured I already knew he'd bought it when I saw it was gone! It hangs in my dining room and is one of my favorite things!
ENJOY that chair! Can't wait to see your place all decorated for the holidays.

I love your chair! It is absolutely perfect. Your hubby was a dear to get it for you early!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness Lisa~ what an absolutely beautiful chair!! I adore it and I would have stalked it too!Yes, I have visited pieces before...! What an incredibly sweet hubby you have for getting you this fantastic chair as an early present! Love the finish, the fabric, Everything~ well done!!! Give that man a big hug~ he deserves it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your new gift.
ReplyDeleteyour husband is too funny!
He sounds like my husband, never mind the fact that something is sentimental and or beautiful..if it resembles anything that might look like a clown or jester, forget it!
Have a great night!
Lisa,
ReplyDeleteLove that chair and also that lamp!! You know that lamp shade is just my style....
Hugs,
Debbie
Hi Lisa - I love love love your early Christmas present! That beautiful chair looks perfect in your space. What a nice hubby...he's a keeper ;-)

Oh Lisa that chair is awesome!!!!! You show some good restraint that I don't think I could have mustered, ha! Thank goodness for husbands!

You found that chair at a nursery? I think I'm shopping at the wrong nursery! What's not to like about it, it's absolutely gorgeous! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWe were told Callie was a Border Collie/Lab cross and she has the border collie markings on her face and the BC tail, and her fur is sooo soft and curly, and repels the water like a lab but we don't actually see a lot of lab in her. Some people have also said they thought she had some Australian Shepherd in her, but the brown in her face is hard to place. She's certainly unique and quite the snuggler!
That must be some nursery! I have an affection for chairs too, and this one....Oh my....yes...it would work next to my chaise lounge. Thanks for stopping by! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI love your chair and I am so happy for you that you finally got it! I do things like that all the time when I see something I want. I go back over and over again. If it's still there, then it's meant for me! At least that's how I percieve it to be. LOL! Thanks for stopping by. I always enjoy your visits. Have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Sandi
Congratulations on your early Christmas present! It is beautiful and I can see why it captivated you. Thanks for stopping by my blog! ~Alana~
ReplyDeleteGreat find ! Love the chair. My husband probably won't notice the buggy . I usually find some old orphan dolls at Canton. This is the first time I left without one. I have enough really!
