Our Angel Ange







Way back (eight months ago) when we first opened our doors a young, beautiful, red headed woman wandered into our store. It was love at first sight for all of us. Ange is an actress, but she has a love for home design. We actually soon discovered that she is interested in just about everything. One gets the feeling that Ange lives life like a kid in a candy store eager to taste every new flavor. She asked us to come to her home and help pick colors of paint for her walls. It turned out that Ange was pregnant, and she had already started nesting. Throughout her pregnancy Ange came to visit us, and she also invited us, three old people, to her parties and special events. She had several yards of fabric that had belonged to her grandmother, and we turned it into pillows for her bed. Then, came the big request. Ange found an old wing chair that she wanted covered in teddy bear fur. The purpose of the chair was to cradle mom and baby in softness while they were nursing and bonding. Now, Michael and I have been around the block more than once but this was a brand new request. However, we had come to believe that Ange and her baby were our special angels, and how can one refuse the request of an angel. It took awhile to find just the right fur, but we are proud to say that we accomplished it. You will notice an old dilapidated teddy bear sitting in the chair. It belonged to Michael when he was a toddler. See how close we came to reproducing Michael's old teddy bear in the form of a chair. Ange had her baby, and he is an absolutely gorgeous little boy named Logan. It gives us great pleasure to think about the two of them curled up in the arms of a big teddy bear.
