ABC Wed - Vat You Vant?



I experienced a Venturesome moment a couple of months ago.




















After receiving an e-mail seeking Volunteers,














on behalf of our local Art Association for our local First Friday Art Walk,



to create (or re-create) the "common garden chair."





















Might I Vaunt?




















I immediately Vowed to participate in a timely fashion;
presenting not one, but two garden chairs!


Voila!















It was a Vista, if I may be Veracious,















aided by Veritable childhood memories,















by which these designs were enVisioned. :-)




















Whoever purchases these chairs at the end of the summer should remove
the fake flowers and plant something that will be better enjoyed.

The chairs are named...

"Sister Chairs . . . . . . But Not Quite Twins"









"Sisters ... Sisters ..."
from White Christmas
starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen
(YouTube video)



Do not Vacillate. Which chair do you like better?

    Hi Roger, :-) ha!

    I guess you might think it's a vase, but it's supposed to look like an iris... however that blue piece of mosaic on the pot looks like a V. lol

    Veritable beauties, each and every. Love the mosaic pots and I might even be partial to the self sustaining imitation flowers. :) Cheery, happy, artistic.
