Not sure if it's just me, but I am a BIG rocking fan - by that I don't mean music, I mean I love rocking chairs. This love has become even more intense now that I have a bun in the oven, as I imagine myself feeding the little babe in a chair rocking us both into oblivion. Bliss!
Funny how things work, because this weekend we were headed to a market, passed by a beautiful floral shop that also sold some fun items, including a (gasp!) Acapulco Chair - yes, like the ones that the Kennedy's rocked on back in the day in their resort homes. To be honest, I don't really care about the iconic status of the chair, because once my tush hit that seat, it was a match made in heaven! Part of me didn't want to get out of the chair, while the other half, just, well - couldn't (I'm much heavier these days!). When I got home, I researched and browsed to see if I could find the chair anywhere, and to my amazement I discovered they make a rocking version! Be still my beating (or should I say rocking?!) heart! There are a few places that you can get this chair, but the most eco-friendly option seems to be hailing from a Brooklyn factory - GreenPointWorks - where they make everything locally with local materials. Durable enough to withstand the outdoors, but I am picturing this rocking chair in our bedroom with a nice sheepskin rug on the back for added padding.....don't expect me to get out - EVER!
PS: for those of us in Europe, I discovered this site that does ship (for a fee!) to us
