New Old Wing Chair!

So, I was able to acquire this beauty last December after falling in love with it at work. Since the shop was moving to a smaller place, my boss offered this to me for a deal to good to pass up! Mr man had to clean out our barn recently and Chairie came into the porch! Well, since I had the fabric and some 'extra' time, I got to it! I probably pulled 1000 tacks from this as well as dirty rotted MOHAIR velvet that was almost 100 years old! This was original upholstery! Even the arms are sprung. Thankfully, the springs were still intact and did not need retying or replacing. I left the old straw and cotton batting and placed a layer of dacron over it. Then stapled the fabrics onto it! In some places I used welting, and I did use cardboard welt tack to keep it all even. I did replace the cushion with a foam wrapped with dacron. In the future I will probably replace that with a foam feather wrap cushion.
Chairie has made it to the living room, but the wood rack had to be moved out, as well as a few other things. It fits in perfectly! What a comfy piece! Mr man and Jackson love it!

Grilled Parmesan Tomato

These were yummy! I grated some fresh parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil, parsley and oregano from the herb garden! Topped the tomato halves with the mixture and a sprinkle of salt and put them under the broiler for a few minutes! Great with a side salad, and a slice of crusty bread!
Matt and Bruce stopped in for something while on patrol and they also had one, they smelled so yummy!

Last of Summers harvest...almost

So we have Butternut squash, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, and a screwy looking acorn squash in the last 2 frames. The next is a pot full of beets and greens, the last is a trug full of potatoes the nice thing about the butternut squash and the potatoes, they were volunteers this year! Left over baby potatoes not harvested last year as well as squash seeds from the compost that made it to the garden in spring!
