Back to the Wingbacks...

I got back to the chairs yesterday evening... I can't wait for this coming long weekend... I don't care how nice it is outside... I'm staying in until these puppies are done, and the front room is back together... then all that'll be left in there is to make a few pillows, some things for the walls and to pick up a fern, to put into the little cage thing that I picked up...  All of the pieces are cut out for the chairs... the only sewing left are three of the wing pieces... I cut them all out yesterday and assembled one... I'm not liking the piping on that one piece so I might try to sew it over once more closer to the piping, or I'll take it apart and resew the piece together... I knew the wings would be the trickiest... but someone did it originally for the chair so I should be able to redo it!

I've just tacked the fabric onto the chair here with a couple staples so that I wouldn't have to hold the pieces on while trying to take a couple pictures... The foam is going to be replaced... along with that black piece of light fabric that is covering the back springs... it'll be that nice cream that you see on the seat part where the seat cushion is going to go... I know it'll be inside but it'll be nice and consistent all the way through... I plan on putting a layer of batting over all of the foam as well to make the chairs a little more plush and full looking...

I think they're going to be pretty sharp once they're complete!  

Vintage Chicks...

After collecting Serrene on Saturday morning we headed to the Millarville Market, and then to the Vintage Chicks sale in Priddis... well it was beyond amazing!  And the prices were also soo good and amazingly reasonable!  I ended up leaving the sale with a vintage chenille bedspread (pictures to come later), a lavender pillow, and two vintage jars - one with a nest inside and the other with eucalyptus and a blue egg inside (pictures to come later of these too)...  Check out my flickr photostream for photos from the sale... AND I won the draw for the "gift basket,"  and calling it a gift basket is the understatement of the century!  It was a huge basket brimming full of wonderful things, and a pile of gift certificates for various vendors at the show!  AND a beautiful vintage scale, AND a super beautiful table (that goes oh so lovely in my front room)... here's a snap of it... I couldn't believe it when they called and said "you've won,"  and when I got there an the lady said "this is all yours!"  I was like "WHAT THE!?..." so awesome!  

I'm feeling so lucky to have won all of these beautiful treasures!  Today S and I are going downtown to take photos...
