chairs and beakers…
I wanted anything of Karin's, and because sometimes I can be quite silly, I thought that I couldn't afford it. The numbers just looked so big. It literally wasn't until many months later that I found myself looking at them again and I thought: currency converter. And low and behold I could afford to buy something. Then I had a bigger dilemma to decide what I wanted (can't wait to see what happens with her new experiment!). I finally after much waffling decided on the tea and coffee beakers. I love them. I love they way they feel…and I am thrilled that I figured out the money. Oh such a silly silly girl!

I'll leave you with this photograph.
I am sure the chair was pulled out to the sidewalk to throw away.
But what I saw was this lovely office chair under a big tree. I was just imagining how someone would come out on their breaks during the day and read their current book…any other ideas?

oh, you’ve been posting such great goodies! i love my pieces by karin too. this chair photo is too fabulous for words.
it would make a good place to sit and wait for a friend to meet you for lunch or a place to take a quick nap or a place to sit quietly and observe or a portrait chair. you could ask passersby to sit and relax while you snap their portrait.

Nice treats! That chair is awesome. I would use it to sit and knit a sweater in, if I knew how to knit. Ha! Of course I’m always worried about cat pee and what not, with furniture on the street…so it would have to be checked carefully.

Love that chair… it has so much personality. I’d sit on it to watch people pass by, and if no-one passed by, watch the birds.
cheers, grache

shari - I love that idea to have a portrait chair…roll it around the city…that might be a fun project.
lisa - ny’s trash is really amazing sometimes.
johanna - it looked pretty safe…but it might have needed closer inspection
gracia - there is a great group of pigeons that hang out around the corner…
