The Red Chair

Wow, my head is still spinning just a little bit from all of the funny internet business about An Apple a Day. Luckily, it's back to business as usual round here and I'm sitting in a freeeezing coffee shop, deciding whether I should eat another cookie. I vote yes.

For a fun treat to celebrate all of this blog love, i thought i'd drag you to my favorite antique store of all time (other than Moon River, duh). The Red Chair in Peterborough, NH.

This store does pretty and sweet better than anywhere else I've ever been. Better than anywhere in any big city and no, it's not just because her prices totally do-able by comparison. Jocie's taste is just stellar and her merchandising is brilliant.

The mohair stuffings are dedicated to Francesca, whom I had the pleasure of dragging here in real life (along with dear GBS).

I bought more than my fair share of blue and white bits (see first photo) and have decided that when I die and go to heaven, I want an 18th century delft tile fireplace. or backsplash. or entryway. oh heck, tile the whole house.

Side note- When my mom was in town a few weeks back, I bored her to bits looking at delft tiles on ebay. Eventually she pointed out that if I spent a little less time on the internet hunting for antique tiles I might have a boyfriend. I guess with age comes wisdom. That being said, I still want the darn tiles.
