    That's soooooo cute. Did you paint it or buy it, I can't remember.

    Thanks everyone!
    By brother, "The Dragon", actually bought the chair a few of years ago. He volunteered with a breast cancer suvrivor group that races Dragon Boats. The team's name is Pink Phuree. He started helping them after our sister-in-law passed away from breast cancer.
    They were having a fund-raiser and he brought home this chair. It had different plants in it then, but I try to keep something pink in it for breast cancer awareness.
    He told me the "plants are your's but that's MY chair".
    :D
    I'll have to let him know that it was honored here... and perfect time too since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
    Thanks again everybody!

    Congratulations, Cheryl. I love the chair and I did notice the ribbons and pink flowers when I first saw it. Thank you for telling the story behind it. It has a lot more meaning now.

    Congratulations Cheryl! I love that chair. Every time I go garage sailing or thrift shopping I'm on the lookout for something like that to paint and decorate! You're an inspiration!
