Description
One of my favorite haunts for finding interesting objects is the Juniata Mercantile, not far from Breezewood, PA. It's a great, great place for interesting decorating accessories, fabulous candles, holiday decor and more ... though not including the rocking chair seen here.
One day while I was visiting, I walked around to the side porch and found this fabulous old chair. I couldn't help thinking how comfy it must have been, once upon a time ... how it must have once been well loved. In my mind's eye, I see a mom rocking her fussy baby, a grandparent with a beloved grandchild on her knee, reading a favorite story, or maybe someone just sipping a hot cup of coffee, rocking, and enjoying a sunny morning.
Lots of love here, once ...

This is such a delightful image in that it brings up old memories from my childhood. Maybe not directly experienced, but seeing. Gorgeous creation.

I love how the seat has fallen through the frame. It tells of many hours of bliss sitting on the porch with a good beverage and maybe some good company! Love it, Lois! l/f
