Poofie Paradise …

Posted under Fun Stuff, Happiness by Julie

Hi everyone 

I grew up in households that had ‘poofies’ - all sorts of wonderful kinds of tapestry or brocade ’footstools’, wood with straw weave tops, leather rounds collected from exotic places we travelled to, stuffed to the limit with newspapers and of course the very posh versions - all leather, hollow in the middle for storage and with castors.  Granted it was the 1970s when they were all the rage but Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee how I have longed for something similar in my own household for such a long time.  WELL - they say ask and the Universe will deliver - or in this case a very good antiques auctioneer in Leyland and an extremely thoughtful and caring husband. 

Yeah - I now am the owner and user of a beautiful top quality full leather (green) poofie that the top lifts off to reveal a very respectful sized compartment for the storage of goodies - in my case it will be my latest read, Mist Over Pendle by Robert Neill, my sketch book and an embroidery project. ARhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bliss - must be time to put my feet up with a lovely glass of Rioja …. perhaps a wine table would be useful now ….

Big grins - lots of love n stuff
