A Special Kind of Chair…
Good Morning,
I am a little excited. I will be taking a week off next week! Now I am hoping that things go well, and I can do everything on my list. I will be sure to share how my fall break went as well as how my first concert went! I don’t know if I shared but I went to my first concert on Wednesday! My husband took me to go see jazz pianist Diana Krall! It was wonderful! I will be sure to share that soon. Today I wanted to show you guys my recent big antique purchase.

I went to Vintage Whimsy a few weeks ago for their fall festival and spotted this chair in the corner. I immediately stopped and stared. I thought it was so beautiful!
The store clerk saw me staring at it and said, “That chair takes a special kind of person”. I then said, “I am that person”! She then smiled and said, “are you”! We began to talk, and I tried to get the price down but could not. I was going to leave it but my heart began to sing and that’s when I knew that I had to take her home.
I love the fabric. It has a “rised” look to it. It reminded me of my carpet bag that I purchased a few years ago. The bones of the chair are so good but I am still complimenting having it reupholstered.

I took it to my office. I have gotten lots of compliments on it. Most people think that I should keep the fabric the same and only a few think that I should change it. I do love it the way it is. I wish I could find out what year it was. I may reach out to the store and see if the seller knows any details about it.
Such a great addition…

I think it is going to be great having this chair. Just look at how gorgeous it looks with my new Rose Parker Slings from Sarah Flint! Vintage, rich, and chic! Lovely! Don’t forget about my code for $50 off! Use code SARAHFLINT-BASMSSHOCKLEY if you see a pair that you want for this holiday season! There will be more beautiful shoes to come!
Speaking of new arrivals, the boutique has one! The Charlotte Velvet Midi has returned but in plus size! The color is emerald green and I am trying my very best not to keep one. It is available for purchase right now! I hope you enjoy it! I will be posting on Monday but then taking the rest of the week off! Have a great weekend!
So glad you got your chair. You’ve wanted it for a long time. I see what you mean about it’s upholstery. It’s rather unique today. Does it have a velvety furry like feel? If so my great grandma had a settee with this type of fabric. I do recall my mom saying she had that when she was a kid. My mom was born in 1949, so figure when she’d remember something it was the 1950s. So it could a fabric from the 1940s. Great grandma had it when I was a kid in the 1980s. I don’t know what IRS called. It has character and it’s beautiful. Looks great in your office.
Hi Ms. Tracey!
I hope you are well! It does have a velvet furry feel to it. I still need to reach out to the store to get the history on it. I do love the way it looks. I feel like it belongs with me.
