We were expecting company and I'd been selling so much of our furniture that suddenly I realized there wasn't enough seating. So I went to one of my favorite "stores", Craig's List, where I found this mid century Eames knock-off beauty for $100. I love that it's upholstered in this creamy cotton. The guy selling it was incredibly sweet. He had a large glass display case full of amazing Japanese toys he had collected and when my Marcel noticed a miniature of the lounge chair on a shelf he gave it to him. Thank you Joe!!

Merci Maryam. If you click on that top photo you can really see all the beautiful nubbiness in the fabric.

Great Find, I’ve always loved that lounge chair.
I have to say that if Marcel liked anything in my house I would instantly give it over. He is adorable!

Sylvie, thank you for visiting my site. I love the colors here!! I have to ask, WHY would you want to come back East??? To answer your q?, no on the full moon. But the Barometric pressure is just miserable for migraines. So again, why oh why would you come back this way. It is simply murder!
