Pillow Talk and Musical Chairs

WM and I will be hosting a BBQ in early August, and we're hoping for the summer to arrive before then so we can just put loads and loads of cushions in the garden instead of have people sit on chairs (of which of course we don't have enough, but more on that subject later)! This past weekend, after shopping around for -but still not buying- a digital camera on Saturday, we went fabric shopping on Sunday. The curtain factory outlet once again proved to be the perfect place: we came home with meters and meters of fabric for gorgeous cushions; all very different in style, and all very colourful, some beautiful, some truly ugly, but fun nonetheless. I would of course have posted a picture if our hunt on Saturday had been successful, but now you're just going to have to wait.

Immediately after our decision to host a party, the subject of seating arrangements came up. We used to have quite a few chairs around our table in the kitchen, but mysteriously they started to break down one after the other (it must have to do with WM's great cooking). My WM wouldn't be a WM if he didn't find a solution: two pink chairs sitting outside a bar that was being refurbished. So now we're lounging at the kitchen table! A few months after, he found an armchair on the pavement and decided that it would have to come home with him. Fact that it was too dirty to sit on was not a deterrent, and once I got used to the idea, I actually started liking the chair. Of course I have my own idea of how to make this chair part of our interior: it will have to be dressed up as a cow (mooooh!). Hopefully I can get this done before the party, but I'm not entirely sure of that; it's quite a project. If not, then maybe the chairs WM found outside a few days ago (which are an exact match to the chairs we used to have in the kitchen before the pinkies moved in), will come in handy...
