Of course outside rattan furniture was a must. Beth, you have a penchant for resurrecting memories. Some better than others. I'll be looking for some wicker somethings now that the season is over and I hope to find good stuff at the second hand markets. Scottish wool blankets (rugs) are calling. That first morning chill in the air sets my heart racing.

Open any shelter magazine and you will see homes all over the country with wicker/rattan/seagrass/jute furniture, rugs, and accessories that are clearly not seasonal.
