Kate and Cam first bought these chairs when they came over for a pool party a few years back. I've looked for them every year since, but haven't had much luck in the recent past.

For cryin' out loud, three months since a post. Oy.
The good news is that I have been so busy at work and enjoying the job that the time simply evaporates every day. This has happened before, and interestingly I am going back to Boston where this first occurred next week.

I am baking again.
