{Our Brown Jordan Chaise & Wolford Bathing Suit Score}

Don't know about you, but things in life seldom go as planned... at least not for both of us.
After Pieter finished last year with the tiles on our balcony, we did order a Brown Jordan Chaise after we fell in love with it at the HYATT house Atlanta/Cobb Galleria during our stay of July 17.
First we had to search the internet and than order ONE.
The question over and over was; how many do you need for your resort?! 
It took all summer though... On September 24, finally we drove to Atlanta to the warehouse where it had been delivered. I came back with this very chaise on TOP of my cute ute; the now 17-year old Ravy, my Toyota RAV4!
BUT no more summer use for 2013, only this year after a LONG wait because of a wet spring and big part of the summer, I got to use our new Brown Jordan Chaise!
This is it; different color frame however.
Ours is: Brown Jordan Patio Stacking Adjustable Flight Chaise 3940-7000 in White Lite color 055 with Versatex Mesh in Latte 1079
Yep, that's me wearing my Outlet Score from May 3, when we went to The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise, Florida...
Just keep in mind that I am 3 x the age of your average model of 21 years young!
The sun is way too harsh to even look...
My natural gray hair; never ever used any dye...
THIS is a professional model and a lot younger!
But this triple-age girl was mighty proud for having snatched up a Wolford Forming Swimbody in Black, size Small, in cup B, with a whopping 75% Rebate!
Now that's what I call Outlet Scores; high quality for a steal.
Yep, my Egyptian feet...
Now each of us has a chaise on the balcony...
Love this new Brown Jordan Chaise & my Wolford Bathing Suit!
I had to laugh because: Wolford will discontinue its swimwear in spring 2015 (just click it)
Even though, I never will be making over–time on the balcony like this...

      Thank you and yes, I did never ever use any kind of dye. Lived a rather frugal life and at the end it even paid off for having healthier hair.
      We often do have our tea on the balcony in the afternoon, there is also a white (painted) teak table with 4 chairs, beside the 2 chaises...
      Sending you hugs and love,
      Mariette

      Thank you! When the weather is not that hot and humid anymore, we surely can enjoy our chaises... even though I have such a hard time to lay still... Love to read and we often have our tea on the balcony in the afternoon. You are quite welcome and hope Marcel is feeling better meanwhile.
      Hugs and happy weekend to you.

      Thank you and yes, it is great to relax once in a while and this chaiselongue was so worth the extra wait! Time is passing so fast so there will be plenty of years ahead for enjoying this.
      Well, for keeping in shape, I never ever have been over weight so I guess its just good genes and using my brains for continuing to eat healthy.
      Hugs to you,

      Thank you and yes, at times it pays off for hunting down something that is really good. It took us a long wait but it is worth it. I also feel so fortunate for having scored that expensive couture style swimsuit and even more so since they stop producing swimwear in 2015!
      Enjoy a happy, cooler weekend with your love and furbabies.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      You never write wrong things dear and don't you even dare to worry! For the past couple of years, I have come to admire you more and more for your attitude and perseverance to get better after your terrible accident that caused you brain damage. You have come a long way and try to be good to yourself especially! Enjoy your Sunday afternoon and hope it is sunny.

  14. Liebe Mariette,
    Du hast noch die Figur eines jungen Mädchens! :-)
    Ich mag natürliches Haar auch am liebsten. Allerdings hatte ich früher schon blonde Strähnchen ausprobiert oder auch rötliche. Aber auf Dauer schädigt diese Behandlung das Haar und gesund ist es auch nicht. Außerdem sieht man doch, daß es keine natürlichen Haarfarben sind, ganz gleich, wie gut es auch immer gemacht wurde!
    Daher werde ich, wenn ich einmal Grau bin, wohl auch in Ehren ergrauen ;-)

    Alles Liebe und einen schönen Sonntag

      Danke, mag sein aber jung bin ich nicht mehr... Es ist ein Segen denke ich um nie Probleme mit Gewichtzunahme zu haben!
      Ja, die natürliche Haut- und Haarfarben gehören zusammen und besser als Mutter Natur können wir es ja gar nicht! Du hast Recht, in Ehren ergrauen...
      Ganz liebe Grüsse und unser Sonntag war herrlich. Aus der Kirche Tee getrunken und dann auf'm Balkon zwei Monatshefte gelesen... Das Wetter war herrlich und sogar noch 30°C um 16:00 Uhr. Danach noch Bettwäsche gebügelt also fleissig am Sonntag!

      No by all means; I am no star!
      Wouldn't even want to trade with any so-called star...
      Let us work hard, sweat, getting muddy at times and still be able to clean up and dress nicely thanks to great bargains.

  17. Dearest Mariette,
    your chaise looks great and comfortable! But let me tell you that you are a GORGEOUS model!!!! You look great, elegant whilst natural at the same time (which in my eyes is a great achievment for any woman at any age!), and definitely beautiful!!! I love the natural look of your hair, and yes, not having ever been dyed certainly shows as it looks so beautiful and healthy! Your feet are incredibly beautiful, too, Mariette :) I remembered you had Egyptian feet -- mine are Egyptian too :)
    Big hugs from the Alps!

    1. Dearest Anna,
      Thank you for your praise! Sunday I did take a nap, sleeping on my belly and that's why this chaise is so comfortable, with my arms up over my head there is no 'hard' obstruction that will start hurting... Next I sat on it while reading two magazines; feeling spoiled and happy!
      Sometimes a long wait for good things does turn out oh so rewarding in the end. This chaise, like the other teak one, will last us a life time and we treasure them.
      My hair has recovered from the years of Prednisone that I had to take, so glad about it being fuller again. I don't mind the gray; that's part of life too!
      So happy that your Egyptian feet got to walk again the Greek Aegean Islands...
      Hugs,
      Mariette
