Can see you in the light bulb! Teehee - creative photography! LOVE the elfen chair ... had bush ones when a child carved by water out of sandstone. Wonder if yours was a magic faraway tree ...

It was imagined and written about by Enid Blyton. I saw an IF posted about the 'Wishing Chair' which is another of her stories I grew up on when a small child. You can see more HERE :)

Oh...that elfin chair is awesome...it is a throne for a King Elf. I want to paint this one with the king in it, please say yes?

Love your photo's and love your mini-chair. I wish the little ladderbacks and rocking chairs that I made for my daughters doll house had survived her little brother:( (She still fondly remembers the doll house years though:)

My favorite are the ashtrey chairs....I had thought they might be salt/pepper shakers. This is wonderful!

Oh, the ashtrey chairs would come in handy at my place. (not that i smoke!, but they would make great earring holders.)

LOVE all your chairs.
Happy Birthday...into the future!

Smooch,
