treasured painting

I am over the moon to be able to hang this original painting of Lakewood Theater, by American Folk Artist Robin A. Davis, at the Sugar Tree Cottage.

Robin's family has been steeped in Lakewood history, her father being born in one of the cabin's behind the theater, (lovingly indeed named "The Henderson House") and caretakers of the famous Lakewood Golf Course and Country Club. I had the wonderful good fortune to have been able to call Robin my friend as we were growing up together. 

She is an incredible artist!  I own others of her originals, as well as a numbered print of another of her Lakewood Theater paintings also hanging at the cottage.

chair

Acquired this beautiful, lush, mauve-colored antique chair from the recent Lakewood Theater fundraiser, and am in love. (I have a thing for chairs) 

This is a real piece of theater history! I wonder what productions it graced the stage in? Who sat in it? 

It will find it's Olive Street home in the Perkins House, as I do believe it fits the decor
