Rocking
Our friend the Dollhouse Lady gave us a really beautiful dark-stained rocking chair made in Quebec by artisan Albert Nadeau. To the complete and utter amazement of the Quimper Hitty’s human, we found two more chairs by the same artist in a consignment store.
One of the light-coloured rockers has this little copper tag stuck to the bottom.
…the Hittys were overjoyed – they find rocking a soothing activity.
…at least sometimes it is soothing…
…but not when the cat wants to climb up…
and the flowers succumb to gravity.
Many thanks to the Hittys favourite photographer for the last three pictures!
















Magnificent!!!! How completely perfect that this trio of rocking chairs has come together in the QH cupboard!
We were amazed – first no rocking chairs, and then three of them, all perfectly beautiful and handmade by the same person!
Perfect 🙂
perfectly amazing find, naughty kitty!
Super Chance does it again! That kitty does get into all kinds of interesting places – eh?
The Quimper human wins the Clever Shopper award for the month…maybe the whole year!! How marvelous for the girls. The Country Hittys are great fans of rocking chairs and rocking as is their human. Lovely chairs!
I almost didn’t win the award – I though the shop was asking too much, and the rocking chairs were in a set with other things I didn’t want so I didn’t get them at first. Then I spent a couple of weeks regretting not getting them, but they were still there when I finally got the chance to go back – phew! The Hittys were very glad I came to my senses in time!
What an awesome find. These rocking chairs are beautiful. I especially admire the curve of the seat. I see that Hitty cat is finding all three rockers to be “Goldilocks purr-fect.
Aren’t they wonderful chairs!? I just adore them all! The cat thinks they are neither too large nor too small – purr-fect indeed!
Lovely gift and fantastic find…rocking, tea, Hittys and good photographs! The QHs bring us so many “gifts” each and every time.
What serendipity, we thought! Just a marvelous addition to the Hitty cupboard, and the girls are feeling all relaxed now just thinking about sitting and rocking…
That is the proverbial long-tailed cat…and that is a room full of rocking chairs…
My favourite photographer had to explain this proverb to me – I see what you mean! Now I know why the cat climbed so high – well out of reach of the rockers!
This just delighted me! I have one of those rockers, a gift from friends who visited Canada. Same exact little tag. And I just love mine, too. But then, I love full-sized rockers, too, and have a nice group of them.
I shall imagine your Hittys and mine, rocking in tandem, separated by distance, but united in sentiment! I love rocking chairs too!
These rockers are gorgeous! What a thrilling find for your Hittys!
I was SO surprised, and so happy, but not as happy as my Hittys were that I found them!
The Quimper Hittys must be the luckiest Hittys of all time! They have wonderful human friends also!
The Hittys are very lucky in their friends, that’s for sure!
