It's a Morris chair from the early 20th century. I love the carved lions and the claw feet. It has new upholstery, because the old was tattered, but that doesn't detract from it at all for me.

My favorite chair in the world
My mother-in-law had a chair from her step-grandfather in her house that I fell in love with the moment I saw it. A couple of years ago when she moved to an assisted living center, she gave it to us.

Lovely cashmere
My aunt sent me this lovely cashmere jacket. It is sooooo soft. The pictures don't do it justice. It's like a blazer. I want to wear it, but I dread risking dirt or stains! I will have to be careful.

Alas...
My camera has gone missing.
I cannot, therefore, show off the fantabulous Dracula/steampunk/HP/whatever-I-want-it-to-be cape I got at the thrift store last night. We found some great things last night, in addition to Halloween treats. Mr. Viv found more collectible vinyl. Bless him. And I found the large print books for elder relatives that make such nice Christmas presents. I am trying to think ahead.
Now that the thrift stores are in their full Halloween costume glory, I'll be looking for vintage items. I found this adorable 1950's dress in the costume section of one last year. It was half price, so I bought it for less than $5. Amazing.
