I found this supposedly Ercol vintage piece for sale online......it looks interesting.
It will probably be Saturday or Sunday before I hear anything about whether the sale is on or off. Meanwhile, I have been sorting through some things I brought home and moved some to other areas in my home and I took a carload to my friend's house for the ABWA sale. And yesterday I actually took a nap. It was lovely.
Today I did a couple of errands and then went out and did some power shopping for a recliner. I found one I liked a lot and have ordered it. It should arrive in mid-July. It's just a La-Z-Boy but one that I found to be very comfortable and in the color I wanted didn't happen to be available locally but I'm willing to wait.
Once again, I love all the photos and the discussion but I am now hopelessly behind in trying to comment. Hugs to you my friends. I'll try to get back into the swing of things.

Really too late again, but SANDY, is that Bryanna on the left? I think she looks like you! ANNE and JACKIE have left me in the dust, as I've never heard of Ercol. Here Henry Miller was the rage! And I enjoyed DIY productions made from handsome outgrown crib sets, LOL! Hope SHIRLEY's trip is terrific and loved BARBIE's "kids"---oops, NO! This site opened in my laptop on a 2014 page with pictures of Sasha etc. on Barbie's bed! I think I'd better get some sleep as I feel like I'm hallucinating!

Finding your conversations on furniture most interesting and especially since it is familiar to our two English ladies. My heritage so it makes me think of my grandmother...LOL Haven't seen any pieces of furniture here recently anyway similar to Ercol, but one never knows what tomorrow will bring. I have a few sites I check regularly looking for some antiques to be put in a few places, but it is hard to find something that is in good shape though I did find a rocker for a great price this spring that I love. My most recent adventure was to stop by an Estate Sale in our 55+ community. Found some very interesting books dated 1918 as well as a few pictures I thought real hard about purchasing. Bought one to go down the hall and it looks perfect there. Got a real deal on it. Now I have the bug to nose around Estate Sales when I see them. I am looking for a fountain for the backyard so that my bird friends can enjoy it during our heat.
Summer is nearly here. It has been in the mid 80's. Delightful as long as I get outside to do my morning chores in the yard early. Actually went for a swim yesterday afternoon and saw those exercise results this am
Need to do it more often.
We sure all have some cute grand kids !! And Sandy Bryanna does look just like you and I see the family gene in the other girl as well. So jealous you all have some little ones in your families, but I do enjoy my two smallest 4 yr old granddaughters. They are getting so much fun. Found a recipe to make some bread that looks like watermelon when you cut into it. Think I will have to give it a try when one of the 4 yr olds starts spending 3 afternoons a week with us starting in Sept.
Phoebe.....You sure seem to be bouncing back from your knee surgery very quickly. Give it a little bit of time to heal and besides this is your time to rest up before you head back to work. With everything being done by lasers now I am getting so I will not be so apprehensive when any future knee surgeries or cataract surgeries come into my life.
A special hello to all of the rest of you and I so enjoy learning more about all of you individually.
Take care.....Diane0 -
Hi Diane, I enjoy it when you pop in. Ive enjoyed the photos too. I don't know much about furniture, i just get what i like and never know what to call it. Jackie's photo and Lin's look like the same design if not the same designer or manufacturer. Must weigh a ton!
I think I did too much or should be spending more time off my feet. Experienced some pain yesterday, and now I cant sleep, just wondering what is too much. The only post op instructions say weight bearing as tolerated. I planned to take Honey to the vet this morning, but I may cancel. Jim is going in extra early this morning, otherwise he would've been here to put Honey in the car. They lift her out for me at the vet if I ask them.
I'll spend some quality time in Jim's recliner today, lol. I saved some hand sewing for recovery. I'm a bit late entering the frenzy, but I ordered a small George Foreman grill with removable plates. I am looking forward to grilling squash and zucchini. Unfortunately, i dont have either in the fridge. It will wait until I get to the store.
Will try to sleep now. Night

Good morning sneakers. A beautiful day here as our 2 days of summer begin. LOL Might not even last that long because along with balmy southerly breezes comes the threat of thunderstorms heading up from the continent of Europe. Hey ho, must just make the most of it.
Anne ~ Here's a link to today's Ercol site and you'll see you are definitely in vogue http://www.ercol.com/ so no, definitely never sell what is a classic style of furniture and yours is obviously original whether it has the label or not! I wasn't going to buy that stripped Ercol piece but ironically when my mother passed away I inherited her chattels but because I had no room in my little home I handed the Ercol furniture on to my older brother. It's years since I visited him but will have to check if he still has it. My home life as a child wasn't so bad because being aware my parents weren't happy I spent more time at friends homes and deep down it was a relief when they split because the atmosphere had been dire. If anything it made me a stronger and very independent person.... probably not always a good thing but I've grown into the part and wouldn't want to be any other way now. Your experiences, as difficult and upsetting must have brought you and your boys all the more closer and yup, we're survivors!
Patsy ~ Maintaining property as we get older brings us a new quandary, just as you describe. I had a similar conversation with my cousin when he visited last week about how long will I be physically able to maintain my garden. I'd certainly struggle to have someone else "interfere" but know I can't always be up ladders strimming hedges, never mind pushing the lawnmower about. Chatting to friends with husbands of a certain age I know that what yours is going through is typical of men who have always got on with maintenance and hate the idea of getting another man in to do jobs as it's a recognition of something they'd rather not think about. Tell him it's better to pay someone else to fall off a ladder or strain a muscle!!!
Sandy ~Another lovely photo and goodness, what a family likeness. You could be triplets!!! LOL
Lin ~ That's it!! You found my mother's Ercol piece although she didn't buy the top part that makes it a dresser rather than what we call a sideboard. A recliner is something I've been looking at but come to the conclusion there isn't room in my little cottage for one without something going and that could be George's bed!! Couldn't do that to him, LOL What's happening with your sale to hold things up is no doubt completely out of your hands so try hard not to get despondent because you will get there in the end, it might just take a bit longer than first anticipated.
Oh dear Buzz, your finding yourself back in 2014 with Barbie's frisky poodles did make me smile because I've been there several times myself!! You've got me on the Henry Miller furniture because I'm only aware of the author/artist, or did he design furniture as well, he was certainly talented enough.
Phoebe ~ SLOW DOWN.... knit, crochet, read, anything but changing beds and carrying dogs ~ just for now!! Your story about the George Foreman grill being ordered before you have the veggies to cook on it is rather similar to me yesterday ordering on line a cargo sack truck to help me transport heavy sacks of compost, chicken bedding and even cat food from car to house but then an hour later purchasing 3 large bags of potting compost and having to borrow a neighbour's wheelbarrow... it's called getting ahead of yourself!! LOL
Diane ~ House sales were something I loved and was always popping in to see what was on offer but unfortunately these days there's big business in companies offering to buy everything up to save the hassle of an auction so they're few and far between. I'm lucky in that there are 3 auction houses within a 15 mile radius that I can go to and all of them put most items into an online catalogue so I have an idea whether to bother or not. If your bird fountain is an antique it will be as heavy as any Ercol furniture so get yourself a cargo sack truck if you haven't one already!! LOL
Time to get out for a walk with George. Have a lovely Thursday everyone.
Jackie
P.S Wow, George just went rushing to the door and there's a poor man trying to deliver my sack truck, here already in less than 24 hours. His face showed he thought George was a Rottweiler until he saw a fluffy face peering round my legs!

Thanks JACKIE for the Ercol link, that's the one I found but if anyone once to take a look that's the style of furniture I have today as far as the Windsor chairs are concerned, but what excited me most was seeing my sofa cum bed near the end in white. Mines natural beech wood which to be honest I prefer. Ooh, I wish I could come back in style again!!! Anyway, I won't be dumping it any time soon, that's for sure! Glad all turned out well for you all in the end! I will be interested to find out if your brother still has the old furniture!
I agree PHOEBE, slow down, you've got a wonderful excuse to put the old tootsies up.
PATSY, I shovelled the very big drive here, easily 6 cars, for 24 years and then last winter I said ENOUGH and I hired two very nice young men to come and do it with their machinery. It was enormously satisfying to be woken up in the middle of the night to hear them shovelling away and know I could have my brekkie in peace without trying to push the back door open. They were so good I've now hired them to mow my front and back lawn. It looks smashing with the edges neatly trimmed and leaves me the time to happily potter. Now all this hasn't exactly left me with much pocket money over from the old age pensions for essentials like bird seed and cat treats, BUT it's well worth the sacrifice! I almost feel like a lady of leisure albeit a somewhat shabby one in my work and gardening clothes. When my friends were still around or active, God love them, I needed the old age pensions to keep up! So PATSY maybe tell your love that it's time he became a supervisor like me. These lads even put my garbage on the drive, no extra cost! They started their business 5 years ago and they can hardly keep up with all the demand from old dears like me!
LIN a lovely new recliner! A lovely new stove! I'm so glad you ALSO are treating yourself after all the horrible trauma of the past few months. Good luck for Saturday. Fingers, legs, eyes crossed for you!
DIANE, I'm so glad you are enjoying fun at estate sales. I collect Toby jugs, little ones. They are pretty hard to find over here, but occasionally! So far I have 9 little men sitting on my bookcase, my favourite, Dick Turpin the Yorkshire highwayman, hanged in York poor lad in the 1700's for just having fun divesting the rich of their cash.
Morning BUZZ, SHIRLEY, SANDY, MARIE, ooh everybody, I'm running out of steam!
ANNE and still with the E.0 -
I love Toby jugs! What a nice collection you have Anne.

Happy Thursday!! Another beautiful day, a meeting day so no pool. I won 2 games at bingo for a total of $175 so that made me feel good. I know nothing about furniture, I buy what I like never looking at brand names. I think I am a more simple type of person so stick with contemporary.
Anne, your picture is upside down on my computer but I right clicked and opened it in a new window so then it was right side up. Cute little jugs, I am sure these are special to you. Glad you found those boys to help with your yard work, makes your life a little easier.
Jackie, I am not sure the girls would be happy about the resemblance but I am, thank you. There was a hoarders sale at a home near my meeting last week but I didn't walk over there. I have no room for any more furniture or gadgets in my apartment, especially since I am a little OCD.
Phoebe, you bad girl, didn't we tell you to take it easy on that knee? You are in time out now, just sit in that recliner and don't move.
Diane, good to hear from you and I love toddlers, they can talk and play and keep busy. I am waiting for Robby to start walking and talking which I think will be soon. As the old saying goes, if I had known how much fun grandchildren are, I would have had them first.
Lin, the vintage piece is beautiful but you need big rooms for that size furniture. Is there a problem with the sale or are you just getting nervous over the inspection? A nap for you in a good thing, it helps slow you down for a short time.
Buzz, yes the girl on far left is Bryanna who is 20 and the other is Kate who is 25, she is my son's daughter from Portland, Oregon but she lives and works in D.C. She however is quitting her job and will go to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore for her Masters in the fall. First she is going to Thailand and ending up in Vietnam for a months vacation.
She loves to travel to exotic places and has no fear, she was the one who was in the Peace Corps in Africa.
Have a great day!!
Sandy
One Day at a Time0 -
LIN, at last! Someone else who likes Toby jugs! I collected all the old small ones, Francis Drakes at the front, but the big modern one was given to me by the old grumpy photographer friend for a birthday and who knew I had an affinity with dumped first wives everywhere! I have a huge framed poster of Elizabeth 1st on one wall and his comment was "well, that tells me everything" and quite rightly too! A great deterrent to would be suitors, good old queen Bess!
Morning "grandma to beautiful grand children", Sandy.
Anne, still hanging on to the E.0 -
I don't have a collection of Toby jugs but I love them and my Grandmother had one when I was a kid that she always got out when I was there. It was used as the milk jug for cereal (which was oatmeal at her house) and it always delighted me!
Sandy, yes there is a problem with the sale. They are insisting I sign two additional provisions that were not in the signed offer. I thought long and hard about it and told them no, I would sign no additional provisions. They went silent and my broker told me if that was a breaking point for them that in his opinion a buyer will always find their way out of the purchase and the obvious place will be the inspection report (and I know radon was found). They've requested some non-standard water tests for example. That is the only place I can find as there were no financing or sale of a home, appraisal etc. contingencies. I think I'm personally am nervous about the title as there has never been one created for the acreage. My dad built that house on the parcel and I trust there are no mechanics/contractors liens from that construction which would not halt the sale but slow things up to get them cleared. I don't know why he didn't have an abstract made just to check on that....he was usually so attentive to every detail in everything.
I usually just buy furniture that is comfortable. I don't even care about colors matching any longer.
My cousin asked me the other day if I knew what happened to our Grandparents' bedroom set. Good grief, I barely remember it. So she sent me a picture of what that style looks like--Waterfall? I'm attaching one of the pictures she sent me.
Chewing on my combo breakfast/lunch. I had some micro-greens from my CSA box and was looking forward to them. OMG---they have a very STRONG bitter taste which I do not care for at all. I will start some of my own broccoli sprouts again TODAY.

Dear friends
I hope you remember me, I have no internet at my house so I have to go to the library and that is where I am now. I am going to try and come once a week. Just wanted to let you know I am still around.
I have rejoined ww again. I am doing much better on it now, I am taking responsiblity for my eating. I started losing weight again and that makes me happy. I signed up and paid for 3 months in advance so that I would keep going.
Just wanted to wish everyone good things and I will try to get on the internet more. I am going to try and find one that has service to my house. So far the services are bad in my area. Hopefully things will improve.
Have a great day

Hi, nice to see dear friends return. PHOEBE, baby your knee, puh-lease! Listen to SANDY and others who have been there, done that. ( I may succumb soon, too!)
Henry Miller was an Industrial Designer who designed everything including fiberglass chairs, great clocks, and loads of things now considered retro something!
I must run to Home Depot to find out why the wall vent filters for my A/C were made too small for the vent! A whole box to return, but they will ship replacements to my address at no charge. Perhaps they are made smaller than one requests, so I have some research to do.
We had a beautiful Celebration of Life for dear Len, who was one of the dearest funniest guys we ever met. we were laughing and tearing at the same time as his grown kids all gave their views of this sweet man. Now, off to errands I keep putting off. Oh where has my energy disappeared?

An unsettling morning. Got a call from the DR. Office and my cholesterol count is up. I now have to up my zocor to 40 ml! I am not happy about that. I haven't changed my diet much but it went up...well there has to be a lot of research and a change in something...not sure how or what yet. More on that later.
Sun came out and it is warm out. Really warm. I will do a couple of things inside then back out to the weeds. These are really not weeds but giant aggressive plants that have decided they have found a home. We will see who wins this battle. There is a wild foxglove right in middle of the drive way that is seriously 6 ft. Tall!
Anne: love the little Toby mugs. I have a weird doll collection. I have never bought a doll for me but I have dozens of them. All gifts. They are usually little ethnic handmade dolls of amazing character. My son buys them for me when he travels and John likes to find interesting dolls as little gifts. I love all of them. When I lived in Louisiana, my dad worked for an oil company and we loved to go shopping in New Orleans. I have a couple of masks and dolls that are scary wonderful.
I am going to find out about why and how this cholesterol count went up. Not a horrible amount but why?
Patsy0 -
Handmade doll by a Leica film designer who worked with our son. She is a bit strange but she a sweet disposition!0 -
Oh my PATSY, I think I'll stick to Toby jugs! and especially living alone apart from an ageing kitty to defend me! Anne0
-
Haaaaaa, still giggling over that doll Patsy! I wish I had eyebrows as well-defined as that. Hugs.
Lin (and sorry about the cholesterol but I think that can move around quite a bit without an identifiable cause)0 -
I'd put that doll in an upstairs window looking down on everyone0
-
I would hate to wake up to that doll starring at me....talk about nightmares LOL As for the furniture yep just like what my aunt and uncle had as I was growing up. And Toby jugs...I'll tell you a story about them. My English grandmother brought very few things to America when she came, but she did bring a large shelf of the medium sized Toby jugs. One identical to the one on the left of your page Anne. I looked at those my whole childhood and was always intrigued with them. Prior to a garage sale that my mother had of my grandmothers things I spotted one, which I still have as a reminder of my grandmother. I was moving to Canada so I really couldn't keep much of anything from home. Upon asking what ever happened to the rest of the Toby jugs I was told a friend of my mothers came to the sale and bought everyone of them up. That lady was quite a collector....knew what was of value and I suspect made many trips to Estate Sales. So dear Mrs White got them and likely her daughters enjoy them now as I suspect Mrs White is no longer around. When I moved into this house a yr ago there was an built in entertainment center with glass doors on it. Making my way thru that room I spotted a collection of about 10 Toby jugs...a few much larger than I had ever seen. Must of been the calling card for me to move into this house; Yes I am keeping my eyes open for Toby jugs at the Estate Sales I am looking at online. I have the perfect place for them now ! Come to think of it I am sounding just like my grandmother now.
Have a good evening ladies....
Diane0 -
Isn't she something? Her name is Esmeralda and she was designed as a prototype for a character in an animated film. They changed the storyline and sweet little Esmerelda lost her job! Most of my dolls are odd handmade dolls. My son travels a lot and he searches out native crafts people for interesting gifts. I have made a few dolls as well. I give them to friends that collect toys, masks or dolls. Wouldn't you know I still play with dolls?
Patsy0 -
PHOEBE, that's one great idea putting Esmeralda in an upstairs window looking down. Should keep ALL undesirables away! I'm so glad I've found another Toby jug admirer in DIANE! They are very hard to find in Canada, not the modern ones, the original antiques. I believe the one you mentioned cost me about $50 from an antique store a few years ago. Dick Turpin I found in York, UK and he wasn't cheap either so I'm hoping my kids will at least sell them to an antique store one day and not chuck them out! Anyway it's great fun trying to find them and gives focus to second hand shop hunting. Plus they are usually so colourful it adds warmth to a chilly grey winter day and especially if you are lucky enough to have a fireplace. Let me know when you find a treasure Diane.

Happy Friday!! A little overcast today, not sure I will get to the pool. I am planning on getting a mani/pedi for the 60th anniversary party tomorrow and in the morning I will drive to my niece's to get my hair done. I lost 0.2 pounds this week, not much but at least a lose. I have to get on my bike more now that I don't have Robby, I don't want to get lazy just because it is summer. Without exercise it is so much harder to lose weight.
I have seen those Toby jugs but I doubt they are the expensive kind that you are referring too, mostly they are of sports figures. Esmeralda is quite scary and would make a great Halloween decoration. I really don't have a collection of anything unless you count beanie babies that I have stored in my garage. I doubt they will ever be worth anything but I can't bear to throw them out. lol
Have a great day, count your calories and do your exercise.

One Day at a Time0 -
Hey there sneakers! Today is warm and sunny so I will be out in the dirt all day. I have been having strange reactions to the potting soil. It has a pleasant smell but it gives me a headache after awhile. However, one must be strong if one is to have flowers and a nice flower bed area. The bees and spiders and I are trying to not get in each other way. However a big black bumble bee is very territorial about some of the weeds I am pulling. Crazy insect thinks these belong to him/her!
I have used my limited callegraphy to make little plant blessing flags to hang on various bushes and trees. I love to see them wave in the breeze, hopefully sending out good thoughts. I had a lot of fun making them. I know...sounds like I am an old hippy riding around in a VW bus with flowers painted on the side! I am what I am!
I am doing research on my cholesterol issue and I am cutting out chicken and turkey. Plant protein and fish only now as protein. We'll see what that brings as well increased exercise. I am on the case!
Patsy0 -
Wow, I actually do know what the toby mugs are and I have also seen the furniture in different people's homes, some relatives,
some acquaintances. Also I have actually heard of Dick Turpin, I can't remember where but I have.
Anne - Lovely collection, so cute!
Chris - So nice to hear from you again, good luck with WW. Check in when you can.
Sandy - Congrats on winning bingo, extra money is always nice. I also called my daughter with some help
with Candy Crush. She is in Quebec City on a work conference. She will call when she returns. She is taking lots
of pictures of Quebec City on my Facebook.
Phoebe- Take it easy and take care of that knee, its the only one you've got.
Patsy - That doll is really scary, I don't think I would like it in my house. Those eyes watching and such.
Diane - Four year olds are fun too, you can do so much with them at that age.
Lin - Good and prayers your way to sell that property.
Buzz - Good to hear Mike is asking for help, the first step.
Jackie - I too have been trying not to eat at night, still not succeeding. Even though I get a large
glass of water and lemon to drink.
The last two days we were at Kathy's and enjoying Isaac. He is getting so big. He is starting to respond
and coo now when you talk to him. He is so precious. Yes, Sandy we are lucky grandmas.
Today we had a meeting with our Financial advisor for help with Dave's pensions and what to do with it.
We also had an apt. with a bank and two advisors that my nephew recommended. One more apt
with another advisor our friend Paul uses. Then we can make a decision.
We are having our friend Tom for dinner tonight. He just got Magic Jack so we wanted to talk to him
about it. Also buying a receiver so we can get TV up at the cottage again.
Here is a picture of Isaac. He is 14 lb 13 oz and 9 weeks old today. Not a great pic of me, no makeup.
0 -
Lovely, wee, baby Isaac, SHIRLEY, and for the record, I think you look absolutely great without the makeup.
Last word on Toby jugs, I try to only collect the Staffordshire originals from the 17th and 18th century. You can find Royal Doultons everywhere. Modern sports ones too SANDY, but not so the old original ones. These usually have the seated man holding his pipe and beer mug. Just saying in case someone spots one.......grab it! I believe they were called philpots originally, no idea why, but I know they decorated English pubs and cottages.
PATSY! Are you pulling up that poor little buzzy bee's food source! I bet you are inside now having a nice cuppa and the bee is scratching his head wondering where his foxgloves have gone. I never eat red meat, just fish, eggs, and food protein and on the whole keep pretty well. Just the odd twinge when the weather changes, like today with humidity but a cold front with rain on the way. That will put a stop to all the splashing and fighting for bird bath rights. Since I moved the bird bath to under the apple tree it's been in constant use. Wonder why?
ANNE
Just found out that Toby jugs got their name from an 18th century song written by some clergyman featuring a chap who loved his beer and was called Toby Philpots. I live and learn!0 -
Shirley isace is so AdorableIs he already eating those Kits?
Pasty I am having no problems with the vegan way of eating I as a rule don.'t really like meat. I love the beans much better I don,t miss cookin meat at all. I still have some mor research to do on this plan. We'll do that when I get a computer with a larger screen. Will admit I missed cheese tho.

Quick Hi to everyone. Having workers fix our door around which we can see light from corridor, so must be available. Mike was interviewed today by newspaper concerning his memorable HonorFlight trip. We do hope all veterans from WW2 to Korean and possibly Vietnam now are aware of this fabulous group which takes them to Washington, DC for a day they will cherish! No charge! Look up Honor Flights.com to connect with your local group! Buzz 0

I am hoping to go shopping in my closet pretty soon..for Some smaller pantsuit am down 14 pounds now Marie 0

Good evening friends. Still no agreement on Inspection report. Maybe Monday.......
Meanwhile, Marie---congratulations on your wonderful result! Shopping in the closet is always wonderful when you get to wear things you've not been able to wear for a while! Congrats.
Buzz - glad Mike did that interview. Excellent. I hope all Vets get the opportunity to see the memorial(s).
Anne - well, my Grandmother was not using her Toby Jug properly then was she since they were known as drinking vessels for beer. My Grandfather would have enjoyed that use.
Shirley - gorgeous pictures! I think you look terrific without make-up. I'd like to look as good my friend!
Sandy - our weather was quite hot today. I hope you got some time at the pool and my gosh, you are just the best at winning money at bingo. Congrats!
Phoebe - are you still being good and taking it easy?
Patsy - I rather like thinking of you as a hippie! I was a flower power peace-nik back in the day although I didn't have a flower-decorated van, I did wear a peace sign on a woven belt on my jeans every day. Oh, and a head band for goodness sakes.
Time to try to get this to post. It has been a rather tough day for my Internet connection once agian.
I just purchased an Android tablet that connects via 3G and has limited data limits each month but I pay no fee for it, the tablet came with lifetime monthly allotment through T-Mobile. I'm saving that for days when I can get NO Internet service here at home either due to problems with my provider or no electric service. (I'll try to remember to keep it charged up.)
Hugs my friends.

Good morning and happy weekend to everyone. A busy time with allotment, walking and visiting as well as doing my best to fit in a bit of French open tennis viewing but reading all posts and should be able to catch up this evening. Will keep an eye out for Staffordshire Toby mugs when digging through auction bits as the only collection I have is of Babbacombe pottery cat string holders as well as one of a dog and another panda. They are only from the 50's and 60's but already fake copies from China are flooding the market so I have to be very careful before buying. Why can't these fakers come up with their own ideas instead of copying others???
Sunshine here so a good tidy at the allotment and some planting of seedlings.... courgettes, red cabbage and sweetcorn today! Just got 10 minutes available to vacuum!!!
