annual ginkgo charm

Wednesday 15th of November

Annual charm of the golden ginkgo in the frontyard.

This morning we woke up in a white winter wonderland.

A white afterchristmas.

The bamboo in the backyard bent over the terrace and all the chairs covered with a snow pillow.

It's wonderful, even if it's probably only just for one day...

It was not easy to get this IKEA PS Vågö chair designed by Thomas Sandell.
A typical case of love at first sight. It's perfect for outdoor use and came in the colors black, white, green & orange.

Unfortunately the easy garden chair disappeared very quickly from the PS collection and I occasionally searched on the web for a secondhand chair.

With spring approaching, I ventured once again an attempt to obtain this classic design. I finally found one and was also fortunate, it was in my favorite color and accompanied by a matching footstool. Yay!

This morning the big package arrived and the plastic seating surface was rather cold when I made a test sit, so I put my sheepskin Ludde on it and enjoyed the new Vågö while reading the newspaper.

Now the seat is moved to the backyard and I look forward to the spring, for it's a perfect chair to 'sit and hook'.
