Have a seat and give your legs a rest!




This shabby but chic bench (is it a bench? I do not know the name for it...) 
was in the park of a castle on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.
A treasure!

Give yourself a rest this weekend! 
Do things that bring blessedness to your mind and soul!

    This seat is really old.. I think they were called 'sweetheart' seats.. but i am not sure.
    it would look just right in my garden.
    I would relax and take my wine in the lovely spring sun.
    happy weekend Christa.

    Yes, I agree with Val, we call them 'Lovers' seats - you can gaze into each others adoring eyes.

    Yes,it's a "love seat"... very nice, but... I'm sure the lovers who used it must have had their 50th wedding anniversary, by now... so rusty! What a shame, as they are really unusual and beautiful. With a bit of TLC, the seat would be restored to its original beauty! I think I would love to own it, Christa!

    BIG HUGS

    We call them kissing seats, but I think sweethearts seat is much nicer! Lovely thing either way.

    This is a love seat although cute not the most comfortable. I do think it is a very dateless piece

    This is called a "courting chair." A courting chair is formed in a way that allows two people to sit extremely close together without actually touching. During the Victorian Era this chair would have been placed in the center of the parlor
