Scary But True: You Want A Recliner

Cathy Hale — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:00:00 GMT

Growing up, my father had a huge rust-colored La-Z-Boy. It was hideous, even brand new. As an adult, I always scoffed at the notion of a recliner envisioning that monstrous eyesore I grew up with. That all changed the day I had a baby. I spent so many hours feeding and rocking my first child that my baby blue glider became my new best friend. Yet, it was always missing something. And that something was the ability to recline.

No matter how comfy your non-reclining glider may be, it is so hard to sleep in one, even if it’s just to catch an hour of sleep here and there. At first glance, the Little Castle Grand Glider Recliner might not look like the hippest chair on the block, but you should see all of the color/pattern options.

Rocking Chair Superstore seems to have the lowest price, $750.

Drool on This: Vintage Chenille Dress Coat from Baby Gardener

In spite of its bedspread like quality, or maybe because of it, I adore this vintage inspired coat.

Cornflower blue coat made from authentic vintage chenille. Swing style coat has a bold flower design, covered buttons, and 100% cotton lining in a pink floral design.

It even comes with a matching hat. I know. If cuteness could kill.

Available at The Baby Gardener for $64

Hand Made: Red Rooster and Chicks Skirt

My love for this skirt is completely irrational. It reminds me of my grandmother and her vintage aprons.

I picture my daughter wearing this running barefoot through our barn, gathering eggs, and then baking up an apple pie. Not that I live on a farm or have chickens. Nor do I let my 4 yr old bake. But the red rooster made from vintage chenille, the matching red ric rac, and the hand stamped green chicks make me feel like I could do those things. You know if I got over my hatred of the great outdoors, dirt and smelly animals.

If you love this skirt as much as I do, it is available at the etsy shop Whimsy Ranch for $28.

My Vintage Chenille Leopard Blanket

chrisjordan — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 21:02:00 GMT

This stroller blanket is made out of a soft chenille fabric, like the bedspread your grandmother probably had on her bed for 30 years.

However, this ain't your grandmother's blanket. Leopard trim and bright funky colors give this blanket a completely modern feel.

It measures 39" x 42" and sells for $120.
