i live in the future & here's how it works

speaking of chairs, sir

this was one of the first

on the blog & long since

a favorite.

taken while

practically

running through

Weimar; thinking then,

as now, that there was

more

to this corner than

could be known.

forlorn, now, but with

some easy still grace.

elegant in it's age.

(via atelier)

given my druthers

no time to sit these days,

but if there was it would be

nice to find myself sitting here

(via exquisite atelier)

whither shall I wander?

the persephone post

is also having a chair moment

thought you'd want

to take a gander

[i might note that i wore, for

a good part of the early '90's,

a plaid skirt from Brooks Bros.

that was awfully similar -- 'tho of

far lighter fare -- to the one (on

the lovely woman) in the far right

of this picture and, honestly, i

will never ever have another

skirt that i love quite as much

or was able to wear quite as often.

interestingly enough, it went with

everything. including my favorite

blucher hi-tops and black tights]

always had a thing for

a very good old chair

[small note to readers: while working on a few new projects, i'm trying to be the occasional blogger -- send out bits of findings i love, stay in touch -- while throwing some heart and soul into the new year & a few new directions. stay tuned! hoping to write a bit more and add some new vt content soon-ish.]

of course, Anna, we

do

agree

with the choice of your chair

"'...the chair was created for use in the weather forecasting room on a battleship,' and notes that it 'was supplied to bars and brasseries by breweries in exchange for selling their beer.'" read more? here and here. buy it? here. hey. what's not to love, with this history? okay. thank you. we'll take six. or eight. Please.
