I love bank holidays! Having three days off in a row is blooming marvelous and I thought how better to spend some of the extra time, than to give a furniture update. I have seen such a variety of late:

I went to the parcel depot yesterday and to my glee picked up all my discarded seating photographs I ordered. It was very heavy and opening it and looking through them was so much fun! It was great to remember where and when I saw the different chairs and sofa’s.

My next step is to start organising them into different groups. I am going to begin in a moment and am wondering whether coloured stickers on the back might help or whether it will over complicate it. I shall have to have a play!

My friend Stuart found this delight in Benidorm. (Thank you!!) The international collection is growing! The furniture spotters are getting further a field and with my trip to New York on the horizon, I am hoping there is some discarded seating waiting for me!

I have ordered all of the discarded seating photos that I have taken since 2006 and the grand total (I think if my abacus is working properly) is 836. I guessed 500, so a lot more happy snappy than expected! This includes photos of the same seating on different days as well as various angles and perspectives. I cannot wait to see them all together and start categorising them. I got a selection of them printed ages ago and I decided to lay them out in the garden. It was so good to see them laid out and I started to notice details that I hadn’t noticed before.

I would really like to show this as a collection and think all the photos on mass could work well. I am super excited to see them all printed!!

Whilst in Birmingham for the weekend, I spotted this sofa lethagically leaning up against a tree. It looked tired or like it had drunk too many beers with it’s lunch.
