Did I ever mention I have a thing with chairs? (An Did I ever mention I have a thing with chairs? (And lamps & mirrors & little tables & linens &...)
I don't know what it is but I feel like you can never have too many chairs. Wendy @artofstylengrace noticed it first... These chairs hanging on chair hooks are the quirkiest things in our home.
It gets the people talking. And yes we do use them as needed.

Happy #internationalwomensday y'all!! Today & ever Happy #internationalwomensday y'all!!
Today & everyday I am grateful for the many generations of talented women I am blessed to know & love.
We are (technically) 4 that once all lived under the same roof &  matriarch. From these women I've learned to use my smarts, cook, organize, garden, sew (even though I'm too much of a perfectionist for that), & use a few power tools.
And I'm still learning from them about everything from boundaries to embracing ALL of who I am.Tag an amazing woman you're celebrating today & everyday. She deserves to hear from you. 💕#internationalwomensday2023 #iwd2023 #gratefulandblessed #alwayslearningalwaysgrowing #talentedwomen #creativewomen #smartwomen #legacy
