Back in Texas, we've been welcome with 103 degree weather. See these great metal chairs that I took to Winnie & Tulula's today? They are mighty comfy. I imagine around midnight in Texas, I would love to sit in one of these and enjoy me some mosquitos! Rather, they would enjoy me. It gets down to about 80 or so around that time, I think. Update: SOLD!
Here is another garden chair in my space at Winnie & Tulula's. I think the brass, green headboard would make a great garden trellis, don't you? Update: Green chair-SOLD!
I'm hoping to hit some yard sales this weekend. Is there any hope of 2 digit degree temperature days in my near future??? One can only hope!Happy Thursday!

Love that green headboard! Last night I finally made it over to David's blog and I was just mesmerized by all his photos of the W&T opening. The candidness of his camera and the seemingly oblivious faces made me feel like I was actually there. Just wonderful! You really do make the perfect couple. I'm so sorry that we didn't get to meet at Leola's last spring. Hopefully, another time.

But you did wear shoes, right? Did y'all get to do any swimmin' in the hotel cement pond?
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Debra, thank you so much. I do believe David is the catch of the two centuries I have lived in!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I did wear shoes with soles and everything. There was no cement pond at our Omni. Another strike against them! (you're funny!)

Love that pair of chairs!!

OMG, no cement pond?! Tell me they at least had indoor toilets!

I agree. That headboard WOULD make a great trellis!

Debbie, you are getting me started on the Omni, aren't you? They had indoor toilets. But, in one of our rooms, you had to step into the bathroom, stand aside the thrown and THEN close the door. Ok..in their defense, it IS the oldest hotel in America. They are just having a difficult time upgrading to our higher standards. The cement pond will never come, I bet. ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteCandy and Amy...come to Texas!
It's hot here too & there's been a noticeable decrease in garage sales -- a bunch of wimps. I'll get out & try again tomorrow. Sure better then standing outside at an auction. Good luck! Jan
ReplyDeleteLOVE those metal chairs. I had a couple once. I miss them. Bet they'd keep your backend coolish in +100 heat.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great trip, Mindy. Those metal garden chairs are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYeah, but being the oldest continuously operating hotel in America does not make it take half an hour to serve up one slice of cheese cake. Considering their 154 years of experience, you would think they would have it down by now! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAs I write this, it's 6:15am. The perfect time of day (in Texas) for sitting on the patio with my love. Nice and cool still. But, alas, you're not here. Bummer!
I have a chair very similar to your green one in blue. I bought in at a yard sale for $5, but now I'm not sure what to do with it. It's a project for sure. It has peeling paint on the seat and some rust and it's missing a screw. I'm sure I'll get around to fixing it one of these days. I actually love these chairs and really do want to use it.
