Now Entering: The Deep Blue Sea(t)

If you love the sea, you will love this sea(t)!

A relaxing and sturdy blue wicker chair, painted and adorned with nautical accents that you and even your lakefront birds can enjoy the summer breezes is the latest chair designed and donated by Catherine Emmons. Mrs. Emmons crafted this chair with great detail from the shells on the charming birdhouse down to the drink tray adhered with a pair of Maxinkuckee historical postcards.

Mrs. Emmons' had created this chair in hopes that people could show family, friends and neighbors that life at the lake is the best by showcasing this chair on the front porch. She says to the person with the winning bid on this chair, "Look back in time at Lake Maxinkuckee through the postcards on the tray. Imagine what birds would populate the beach bungalow birdhouse." She has designed the chair with a removable net, starfish, tray and birdhouse with the intent that this chair could set on your porch throughout the summer.

We are grateful to Mrs. Emmons, a Culver Tri Kappa pledge, and all her efforts in crafting this beautiful chair, along with all her imagination and care to detail. Mrs. Emmons is submitting this chair in dedication to her little friend, Savana Cook, age 7, who has inspired her "to be more creative this year." Mrs. Emmons has invited Savana to meet with her for a monthly "Big Sister Club," where they work on special crafts all day!

Thank you Catherine Emmons, founder of the Big Sister Club, active participant of the Relay for Life program, cancer survivor, Culver Academy's Marketing Manager, wife to IT Director, Larry Emmons, mom to Travis and Shane, dog owner, quilter, friend, turtle lover and now chair designer!
