Looking for a Loveseat

I'm looking for a loveseat.

A couple of months ago I moved my desk into the empty corner in my living room. It completed the room. There was only one problem:  I couldn't sit at the desk or open the drawers because the sofa was in the way. So I moved it.

Now it sits in the middle of the room, creating two distinct areas. One is seating in front of the fireplace. The other is an extension of my tiny entry hall, with a bench, bookcase and the above mentioned desk.

I love the change, especially the seating nook. Guests gravitate to it, and along with a couple of chairs, an ottoman and a pair of little tables under the windows on either side of the fireplace, it makes the ideal seating arrangement for a space-challenged living room.

Now, however, I've introduced another problem. The sofa is too long for its current location, leaving very little room to walk around it on either side. It's a very nice Henredon model, with a bench seat. It is probably the best napping sofa I've ever used.

But now I'm looking for a loveseat. Here are a few that inspire me. The first is from Williams Sonoma Home; the rest are from Lee.

You get the idea. I'm looking for a classic Edwardian sofa(ette), short enough to fit in my room, but cushy enough to be comfortable.

We're not ready to buy yet. But I know I'll have fun looking until then.

Welcome

A TEA PARTY GONE WRONG. Ribby, the hostess, has no idea that that her guest, Duchess, has replaced her main course - a pie made of mouse - with a pie made of veal and ham. And how does Duchess get away with this little sleight of hand? She and Ribby own identical pink-and-white pie dishes, both purchased from Tabitha Twitchit's shop in town. 

The Pie and the Patty Pan has always charmed me.  Foxgloves and delphiniums overflow in Duchess' front yard. The postman delivers the tea party invitation from Ribby on the very same day it is sent to Duchess. And when they pass each other earlier in the day, before the party, they don't speak, because they are going to see each other in a much more formal social setting later in the day!

A gentler age perhaps.
