This past weekend we had a little 'chair fest' in the garden.
We dragged the old Persian rug out to the courtyard, placed a few old chairs around...the 'old chairs' being part of my collection which include a Vico Magistretti 'Gaudi' chair,
an originial Eames 'Bikini' Chair, a red lacquer Arne Jacobsen 'Series 7' chair, a Douglas Snelling webbing chair,
a 1970's mass produced fibreglass chair, and a lovely 1950's occasional chair.

My husband made wonderful cucumber gimlets, which we enjoyed in the garden.
We first enjoyed these lovely cocktails poolside at the Chamberlain in West Hollywood,
and I am pleased to say he was able to duplicate the recipe beautifully!

I also brought my Scott Redford Polar Bear out to play,
and my lovely Louis repro chair also joined in for an airing!
