Ave atque Vale, Pink Chair

[flea]

Seven and a half years ago, we bought a comfy chair at the Mitchell Gold outlet in Hickory NC. (I think I blogged about it.) It had a faded red slipcover, and quickly became known as "the pink chair." A lot has gone on in the pink chair: nursing, reading, cat sleeping... It's basically where I sit in the house.

The cover faded, and got scratched up by kneading cats, and about a year ago developed holes, which got covered by fabric over the arms, but the seat cushion was developing holes. Today I got a new slipcover in the mail (viva ebay), and the pink chair has become the blue chair.

It's sort of a weird change. The cover is really nice, and soft, and I like the blue, but I'll miss the pink chair.
