Hand-me-down furniture, where would we be without it! Sadly, I believe Charlie and Wylie's day would be less exciting without Nana's chairs. There is no telling what these chairs have witnessed over their lives. Born probably somewhere around 1960, these chairs have been snoozed in, laughed in, reupholstered, moved from city to city and finally have found their resting home in my den. Once when their days at Nana's were consumed by people gathered in the den to watch a football game or open Christmas presents, now their days consist of being tortured (with love) by 2 of Nana's greatgrandchildren. These two chairs endure tears, sticky fingers, dirty feet, and some rather "refreshing" diapers all from 2 incredibly active 1 year olds! And I venture to say, Nana probably wouldn't care if this is the form of entertainment that Charlie and Wylie are choosing to have in her handmedown chairs!
Just look at all the fun these two chairs provide!

Really, could you be mad at this face for jumping on your chairs?

Love it!! It just brought a tear to my eye thinking back on those Christmases and afternoons watching football. It's so great that Charlie & Wylie now get to enjoy those chairs so much!! Love y'all!

One for each of them, how perfect? I think those chairs were actually made for Charlie and Wylie, long, long ago. :) Lots of love!
Your are so right. These chairs for some reason do bring some entertainment to anyone who encounters them. My girls love to jump in them and rearrange the cushions for some reason. We will have to wait and see what little Bess will do with them.
