Retro Goodness

Oh my!

I think I may have squealed when I saw these beauties.




I had to have them.  I knew they would look great in our garden.  I can imagine lots of long lazy afternoon teas sitting on these lovelies all nestled under a shady tree. Warm summer evenings, drinking a glass of wine or two while we watch the children play.

I have a feeling however that Mr H is not going to like them.  I think he quietly tolerates my "grandma" finds.

Anyway................I've bought them and will be bringing them home this weekend.

Just love them. So Retro!

  2. "grandma" finds! Love it. That's the sort of fabric I've been dressing my girls in lately ;) I think they are fabulous and would happily sip a glass of wine in one of them any day of the week... x

    1. It's funny is'nt it? We had similar wallpaper in our house - I used to hate that wallpaper. My mum is going to laugh when she sees these chairs. I bet she will remind me of the wallpaper! xo

  6. OMG we used to have the very same ones when I was little! I have an abundance of polaroids (yes polaroids!!) of us at the beach and my mother and grandmother sitting on those very same chairs!!

    Elaina I love those chairs and thank you for sharing... I've certainly relived some gorgeous memories...

  7. They are beautiful....and very retro. I'm sure my parents had soft furnishings in a similar pattern, but I think it was more of a dark green and yellow. They certainly don't make them like they used to.

    Have a wonderful weekend

  8. My, they are divine. They put mine to shame. They would have come home with me had I stumbled upon them. They are just gorgeous. Thanks for visiting over at mine and telling me about them! Cx
