My grandparents had chairs like these when I was a kid. They sat in my grandfathers wood turning shed covered in sawdust and then every Christmas they would be hauled out and dusted off, ready for a hoard of bums to plant themselves and gorge on the once a year feast. I remember they smelt strongly of timber and wood putty and you always ended up with little bits of sawdust sticking to the backs of your legs or getting caught in your spaghetti sandals.
For more flea market finds pop over to visit Sophie at Her Library Adventures.
On a slightly different note, Freddy's party was a smashing success (if you can judge the success of a kids party by the amount of chocolate crackles squished into the carpet). Thanks for all your your well wishes!
LOVE them!! My mother had the banananana lounge.
ReplyDeletein such perfect condition. have lots of pics for you will send now
ReplyDeleteGreat chairs! Love the colours!
ReplyDeleteThey also fall backwards quite easily when you sit on them ... a funny gag, everytime ... until someone BREAKS THEIR BACK!
ReplyDeleteAnother great photo image. Love the colours. I still think of you as towels on the washing line, as loved that image in particular. Crackles in the carpet is always a sure sign of a great party.
ReplyDeleteTwo words. In Love.
