Family Friday Tales

 This tale is not so much a tale as it is a picture!

This is Mother's pink slipper chair.  You may wonder what a slipper chair is.  This one lacks one of the traditional characteristics of a slipper chair because it has arms.  Most slipper chairs have no arms.  They were originally meant for ladies with giant skirts and petticoats to sit on low to the ground so they could get their shoes or slippers on.  This is a low chair and quite comfortable.

Our mother had two slipper chairs.  One had blue fabric covering the cushions and the other had "pink" fabric.  I have the pink one.  You will notice that there is a 3" piece of foam under the cushion.  This is because more padding is needed to make this comfortable.

One thing I might add to my "To Do" list is to make new cushions for this chair...though in honesty, I rarely sit in it at the present time.  Usually it is where I stack the clean clothes before taking care of them.  Well, more accurately, that is where Dear One stacks my clean clothes when he takes them out of the dryer!

This chair is a treasure from my childhood.  In fact, it is almost the only treasure from my childhood that came with us to South Carolina.  Well, there are at least two more. Maybe I will share those some day soon...
