I mentioned earlier in the week that I had gathered up some irresistible finds!
I am excited to share one of those finds with you tonight!
This french inspired davenport in a perfectly faded shade of icy blue...
davenport: a large upholstered sofa often convertible into a bed

I use the term davenport as sort of an homage to my Great Auntie Della Mae who played an integral role in my childhood. She was a dear old lady who wore gold shoes with colorful printed palazzo pants.
Her fingernails were always manicured in the finest shade of red.
Every knick-knack in her home was perfectly arranged.
And she had a davenport.
We learned, at a young age, that it was not a sofa.
And most certainly not a couch.
It was Aunt Della's davenport.

We learned, at a young age, that it was not a sofa.
And most certainly not a couch.
It was Aunt Della's davenport.
And you took many a precaution when you decided to plop down on that davenport.
N'er a pup-pup would ever dare to hop up on there!
But my pup-pup, not so much.
She has free reign around here and a couch davenport sitting in the yard is no exception.
This vintage gal is not in perfect condition like Aunt Della's was.
Over time, she has faded to this color.
It appears that her original hue was teal.
She has a spot or two.
And some areas that show she's been loved a lot.
She is approximately 8 feet long.
She is very comfortable.
The curves contour to fit your body perfectly.
Four peeps can rest easily on her.
She does not fit in my current vehicle.
So, it's hard to tell when she'll make her debut at my little booth.
I'll be sure to let you all know.
This is one of those rare finds that I will really struggle to part with.
It's beautiful. It evokes memories. It's functional.
It would look great in my house
But honestly, I don't have anywhere to put it!
So I hope that another vintage davenport loving soul will find her as irresistible as I do!
