Eames Shell Rocking Chair

It was a perfect timing to post our Eames shell rocking chair today because I just saw Modernica’s latest entry, Forever Fiberglass. This iconic chair needs no introduction, here are two of the rocking chairs at my place.

This green one is my first rocking chair that I bought many years ago. I don’t really sit on it much but our cats love it. They especially use it during the summer because of the cool surface. This is a must have item for any Mid-Century room.

Fire King: McDonald’s Good Morning Milk Glass Mug

“You, you’re the one. A bright “Good Morning” to you.” is the opening line of the McDonald’s tv commercial in 1976 and it was the first promotional coffee mug that was offered to customers for free. These mugs are a part of my fire king collection besides the Jadite ones that I introduced here before.

I normally don’t drink coffee at home, but these simple graphics remind me of the nostalgic American breakfast style. The petite pot showing in the first picture above is also from my vintage Pyrex collections that is the perfect size to serve the right amount of drinks for two people.
