Selling Chairs to Trendy Chorltonites

Hello Friends

Fellow Upholstress Laura from Laura's Attic invited me to join her at the Beech Road Festival in Chorlton this weekend and we had a gorgeous day for it!

Our very colourful stall

Before I started to specialise in traditional upholstery I bought several modern chairs to practice and experiment on so this was the perfect opportunity to give them the TLC they needed and find them new homes.

The trendy Chorltonites turned up in droves and almost emptied our stall!

Fresh lime, grey and cream combine to make this chair POP!
This little Parker Knoll chair sold to a lady who saw it, squealed, ran home and came back with a sample of her new wallpaper...it matched the chair exactly so she went home with the chair, a matching table and a big smile :)

This tapestry on hessian has a dusky pink colour match to the ottoman

This original Lloyd Loom by Lusty ottoman is also off to a new home....lots of people were interested during the day but it's a big piece to carry round!

My favourite sale of the day was this ornately carved kiddies chair to gorgeous little Talitha.  She doesn't look very happy in this picture but I can assure you, she was....she has great taste and she wanted everything!  The kiddies chairs were a great success - I only have two left!



















Big thanks to Laura for inviting me along - maybe see you next year Chorlton :)
