Beloved, Blessings to you today from HomeHaven. Here's something that's helps make our home a haven.I love this old red high chair!
Two of my children used this high chair as babies. I had a modern high chair for my first born. At the time there weren't the neat high chairs that morphed into a booster chair. The high chair was a high chair and that was that.
When I discovered this red high chair at a Yard Sale it wasn't as weathered as it is here. It was missing the foot rest and some side bars, but liked it and used it anyways. These children that I used the chair for are now 32 and going on 30 and have children of their own.
The chair has since served as a prop on the front porch holding potted plants and holiday decor. The Seasons have stressed the red chair.
I'm getting more use to stressed furniture and liking it all the more as I am forced to relax about formality. Forced I tell ya.
I believe I will move this red high chair back inside and place a baby doll in it at the top of the stairs on the landing. I have a baby doll!
God Bless you and if the seasons of life have taken a toll on you...I understand more than ever how this can happen. I want and need the Good Lord to refresh me to where even if my outside packaging is getting old and wrinkled, saggin' abit...that my Lord will make my Spirit sore and be revived! Amen.
Love you and wish you well,
d

What a wonderful chair filled with beautiful memories! Thanks for sharing:). I think it will look adorable with a baby doll sitting in it!

That is a beautiful chair. Beautiful because of the history behind it. I kept the one we had for years but finally there was no need and I am sure any great grands coming on will have a mother that wouldn't let her baby sit in it. I am also working this Lent on renewing the spirit. It seems it gets a little saggier each Lenten and then Easter lifts it up again. Always thank you for your visits. Blessings.

Go for it! That was an awesome garage sale find. I'm sure it will take some thinking to figure which baby doll has earned the honor of sitting in this chair.

Neat story. I have my mom's wooden high chair and I love it. It actually sits in my dining room. (laughing because right now it is holding my youngest daughter's two favorite stuffed friends who are in time out) :)
God bless you, Amy
