Tweet tweet bench Cuba Missouri

Bright colors characterize this children’s bench.

Viva Cuba’s Chair-i-table Auction of artist designed chairs, tables, benches, and stools provide an annual event to put a little style and whimsy into your home. This year is no exception. This event on May 14 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Cuba will be held during the Route 66 Mural City Party. Silent bids will be taken until the bidding ends at 9:00 pm.

Two artists’ pieces are previewed below:

*Jessica Harrison is a Cuba, Missouri photographer whose work can be seen on her Captured by Jessica website. For the Chair-i-table Auction her creativity has produced a child’s bench. The bench with bright colors and talking birds should tempt one of the little birdies in your life. It might complete a child’s room or be child-sized perch anywhere in your home. Should it be called “Twitter” or “Tweet, Tweet”?  We do know that a little birdie told us that it would be a “tweet” thing.

*Jerri Brandenburger Sites of Washington, Missouri is a professional jewelry designer and metalsmith whose work is showcased on her website. Her love of design has played out on this hand-painted pressed back wooden chair with matching Anthropology seat cushion.  The cushion inspired the design and colors on her chair for this “Paisley Paradise.” It’s homey and colorful.

Sites’ chair and cushion combo speaks of home.
