Since we’re in the middle of holiday craziness, here’s an easy one. Do you have a favorite piece of furniture? Take a picture, show and tell!
Thank goodness I don’t have to think too hard about this one!
As usual, I’m giving you a two-for-one. I couldn’t decide between them, and they both deserve a mention.
The first one is this papasan chair I received for a birthday present about twenty years ago. The cushion is a recent replacement, but the frame is original. It made with a wonderfully soft and cuddly fabric, with a cushion that’s perfect for sinking into to sit and read a book or listen to music. Getting out can be a bit harder. For days when I need a little added warmth, I keep a throw handy to cover up with. If I get ambitious, I can clean off a corner of the nearby bookshelf to hold a cup of tea or hot cocoa.
Second is the rocking chair my mother gave me when I was pregnant with my first child. There’s nothing extraordinary about it, but it’s been used to rock an assortment of babies to sleep, and for that alone it deserves a place of honor in my heart. It’s been long promised to go to my daughter when the right time arrives. (The crocheted afghan on the back was made by one of my sisters. I don’t know if it will get passed down with the chair or not!)
That’s it for now. May your week be easy and your spirit bright, and may whatever comes your way bring a little cheer. Whatever holiday you choose to celebrate this time of year, may it be a good one.

There’s something lovely about holding a baby while sitting in a rocking chair. I have done this many times too.
Holding a baby is a privilege no matter where you get to do it!
The comments above are like mine – rocking a baby in a rocking chair is one of life’s supreme pleasures.
