Sweet little seats

Like most mornings, I spent a while going through the email to sort out the wheat from the chaff. Not sure how all the chaff gets in there, but every so often I do find a lovely little kernel that can be used. -- I almost mixed my metaphor there. From farming to mining. Whew! --

Anyway, the kernel. One of the mails was from a furniture company called Naughtone they are featuring a new line they call Cloud Seating

Not only is it some cute little furniture with fancy quilted backs, it is made in England, there are two leg options and lots of colour combos.

Personally, I am a huge fan of the high backed sofa. Nothing I like more than being able to sit and read/work without all the surrounding noise of a room breaking my solitude. It looks so nice and cozy and comfy. Please sing me up for two.

Let this be a lesson to everyone. Not every piece of unsolicited email is junk. By reading it carefully, you can stumble upon some tasty nuggets of seatty goodness.

If you are in the market for some cool seats, give this company a look. Support your local economy and gain some privacy all at the same time.

Olympia Art and Antiques Fair

Today is the opening day of the aforementioned Art and Antiques Fair. If you were one of the lucky folks to make it through the rain to the preview night you probably saw some of the lovely furniture available from Gordon Watson LTD. 

One of my favorites was this very sweet reception set. Sexy and Deco, perched elegantly on those tiny legs.
This is what I want in my sitting room for when I have Jane Russell and Robert Mitchum over for drinks. I am well aware that they are both sort of dead, but it would have been a nice party. We would have had Sazeracs.   The conversation would have been sparkling and everyone would comment on how lovely the chairs and sofa were.
If you didn't make it out to the preview night, there are lots of days left and lots of activities planned. Head over to the website and get your tickets, then get to Olympia and check it out.

If you see Jane Russell there, tell her I have a new bottle of Rye and I would love to have a chat with her over drinks. If you see Bob, tell him I said hello and he is looking good for a dead guy.
