Well, I love summer
but
I also love fall.
In preparation for the onset of colder temperatures,
and the onset of our beloved
"cocktail dînatoire"
we decided to change out the very creaky and uncomfortable stools for some director's chairs.
Our problem was that the chairs around the island were not comfortable.
And since we spend a lot of evenings indoors during the colder months
I figured these director chairs would be of good value.
Of course a cocktail dînatoire usually involves somes standing and some sitting.....
We have to obviously invest in at two more chairs before the cold settles in....
But, I wanted to see how two felt before going for the magic 4.
Verdict.....LOVE it.

A cocktail dînatoire is similar to tapas in Spain or a 5 à 7 here in Québec and a happy hour elsewhere. But it can be a little bit more elaborate than all that and spread out over the course of the evening as a meal would. In the fall and winter I love it.

Oh and did I mention.....COMFY?
Well, I guess that would be stating the obvious. :)
And, I believe I mentioned some special visitors had passed through here in June?
Well, it is official.
Story is out.
I will be back with that later on in the week.
In the meantime..... hint?.....why of course.
Does that fireplace look familiar?
