| Why my post is so late today..Yes, that is my car buried under about 36" of snow in the left hand corner. I had to go to a client's house this morning so I was shoveling like a maniac to get out. I'm back in my office cozy and ready to post. The Klismos chair known for its four gracefully splayed legs and curved back was created in 4th B.C. by the Greeks. It was most often used by women taking care of their babies. The design then resurfaced during the French Directoire period{1795-99}, English Regency {roughly 1811-1820} and American Empire styles {roughly 1810-1825} |

I guess we should stop whining in ATL. Wow - that is a LOT of snow!
That's so interesting about the baby thing! I can just see a mother with her child's feet sticking out the back of one of these! So utilitarian, yet so great looking! Love that. Off topic - I can't believe you shoveled all that snow! Take it easy tonight!
