The Egg Chair for My Birthday!

YAY! Today is my birthday and do you know what I got? My egg chair! It was a big group gift from Brandon and his family.

My New Egg Chair

It’s big enough to curl up inside with my legs tucked under myself (my favorite way to sit). I’ll have to make sure I don’t plant any bee-attracting plants directly around the chair! I came up with this little plan awhile back and I think I might stick with it.

Here’s the view from inside the chair:

I’m so thrilled! What an amazing gift.

    Hello from a relatively new reader! Happy Birthday, and congratulations on your lovely chair! We share similar birthdays (mine is tomorrow) and taste (I noticed the Andros Bistro chairs on your wish list. Bought them awhile ago for my dining table indoors, and I am loving them!) Your blog is fabulous.

    Happy Birthday! That’s really a great looking chair… We are also busy with our bathroom renovation this week and the entire weekend I was busy gardening. It sure would be nice lounging around with using your egg chair…
